Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Branch County is actively migrating its mass notification platform, creating urgent coordination gaps across fire and emergency management operations. Fragmented alerting, an unpublished EOP, and unresolved post-tornado review needs compound operational and NIMS compliance risk.
The opportunity
FEMA grant programs with 2026 deadlines—including HSGP, BRIC, and HMGP—offer strong funding alignment for this initiative. Acting within the current fiscal window ensures continuity of public alerting, closes preparedness gaps, and reduces compliance exposure before the new platform goes fully live.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates without a published EOP, relies on fragmented alerting infrastructure, and has no documented after-action review following a recent tornado — each a direct NIMS compliance exposure. These gaps elevate operational risk for the fire department and the communities it serves.
The opportunity
FEMA grant programs with 2026 deadlines offer a funded pathway to close preparedness gaps with limited local match required. Acting now addresses NIMS compliance pressure, strengthens mass-notification coordination, and reduces operational and public safety risk ahead of the next severe weather season.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active procurements for multi-factor authentication, network monitoring, and managed vulnerability management signal documented, immediate cybersecurity compliance gaps. A mixed-device environment broadens exposure, and unaddressed vulnerabilities elevate operational and public-data risk for the county.
The opportunity
Existing grant funding is actively supporting these procurements, reducing local budget burden and compressing decision timelines. Acting within the current fiscal window ensures compliance continuity, reduces breach risk, and maximizes available funding before the cycle closes.
JAG Program
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals contain accessibility gaps that conflict with ADA and WCAG compliance mandates, creating legal exposure and inequitable access for residents with disabilities. Without remediation, the entity risks civil complaints, enforcement actions, and erosion of public trust in digital services.
The opportunity
ADA and WCAG compliance obligations are non-discretionary, making this a defined-timeline remediation rather than a discretionary spend. Addressing gaps now aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle and supports equitable, legally defensible access to public digital services.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics Deployment for Emergency Response Vehicles
Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Emergency response vehicle operations carry inherent safety risks, and there is no public evidence of telematics or dash-cam systems currently deployed across the fleet. A recent fire truck acquisition signals active capital investment, yet driver safety monitoring and incident documentation gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
The JAG program represents a viable funding pathway for fleet safety technology, and active capital investment in fleet assets creates a natural window to integrate telematics now. Proactive adoption reduces liability exposure, supports officer and driver safety, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
