Emergency Operations Plan Development & Implementation
Emergency Management · Water & Wastewater Utilities
High Priority
About this project
The authority lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan, an authority-specific customer notification protocol, and has unresolved findings from Hurricane Helene — all in direct conflict with Tennessee's EOP mandate for community water systems. Planned dissolution and service transfer compress the timeline for closing these compliance and preparedness gaps before reorganization is complete.
The opportunity
The authority's transitional leadership state and imminent restructuring create a narrow window to establish compliant, transferable emergency preparedness infrastructure before services are reassigned. Existing utility-designated ARPA funding and an established IT spend baseline indicate financial capacity to act within the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Utilities
High Priority
About this project
The authority lacks a formal customer notification protocol, leaving residents without a reliable communication channel during service disruptions or emergencies — a gap made visible during Hurricane Helene. With a Tennessee EOP compliance mandate in place and the authority facing planned dissolution, this risk is both operational and time-critical.
The opportunity
The authority's transitional timeline creates a narrow window to address notification and EOP compliance before services are transferred. ARPA utility funding already in the FY2026 budget signals financial capacity, and acting now ensures continuity of public communications and reduces compliance exposure during reorganization.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority's Transportation Safety Action Plan (Vision Zero) carries the highest strategic urgency among active initiatives, yet current fleet operations appear to lack modern telematics or real-time safety monitoring. An upcoming ambulance fleet procurement creates a near-term window to address broader fleet visibility and safety gaps.
The opportunity
Leadership has prioritized Vision Zero at the highest urgency level, and an active ambulance procurement event creates a practical entry point for a comprehensive fleet safety deployment. Acting within the current procurement cycle aligns with organizational transition timelines and supports measurable public safety outcomes.
