Emergency Operations Plan and NIMS Compliance Initiative
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No Emergency Operations Plan is on record and NIMS adoption remains undocumented, leaving the department out of compliance. Recent incidents, including a train derailment and winter storm, have exposed coordination gaps that elevate risk to community safety and operational continuity.
The opportunity
A 2026 statewide volunteer firefighter grant represents a potential funding event that could free up resources for emergency management technology. Addressing preparedness gaps now aligns with compliance mandates and positions the department to protect residents before the next incident occurs.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No unified, department-level mass notification platform is in place, and the county-level system's renewal status is unconfirmed. Reliance on social media for official public alerts represents a critical gap in formal alerting capability, with NIMS adoption and EOP documentation requirements adding compliance pressure.
The opportunity
Existing county GIS, CAD, and dispatch infrastructure creates a low-friction path for adding a formal public-notification layer. A 2026 statewide volunteer firefighter grant represents a potential funding event that could support or free up resources for emergency management technology ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Compliance Mandates
High Priority
About this project
The department has no documented compliance status against WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA standards, which are federally required by 2028. Reliance on a Facebook page as the primary public communications channel signals a critical gap in accessible, formal digital service delivery.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a defined window to begin scoping and remediating accessibility gaps before enforcement risk escalates. Early action allows for phased implementation, alignment with upcoming fiscal cycles, and positions the department ahead of compliance requirements.
Strengthen Credential Security and Access Controls
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A documented cybersecurity gap exists around password security and credential management, with no current solution in place. Without proper access controls, public safety personnel and sensitive operational data remain exposed to preventable credential-based threats.
The opportunity
Stable leadership and an upcoming fiscal planning cycle create a low-disruption window to address this gap proactively. Implementing credential management now reduces breach risk, supports compliance posture, and may align with broader IT security funding available to public safety entities.
