Emergency Operations Plan Development and Continuity Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Cumberland County 9-1-1's EOP status is unknown, creating a critical preparedness gap under active NIMS and TEMA compliance mandates. A recent facility fire with no public after-action review highlights the absence of formal continuity and response planning documentation, elevating operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
An incoming Executive Director and ongoing reverse-911 modernization create a near-term window to advance EOP compliance and consolidate fragmented emergency notification systems. Existing public safety technology budget allocations and approved equipment amendments support funding capacity within the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Cumberland County 9-1-1 operates a fragmented alerting environment with separate platforms for emergency notifications and mobile EMA functions, creating continuity and integration risk. A provider transition is underway without a clear unified strategy, compounding operational uncertainty during a critical leadership vacancy and amid active NIMS and EOP compliance obligations.
The opportunity
The active provider transition and open executive leadership position create a defined window to establish a consolidated, standards-aligned notification strategy before the new system is locked in. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may streamline procurement, and existing public safety technology budget allocations support near-term action aligned with the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Communications · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The county is advancing a named initiative to establish a secondary E-911 backup center, driven by a high-profile facility fire that caused system outages and exposed critical gaps in emergency communications redundancy. NIMS and state EOP compliance mandates, combined with a leadership transition at the 911 director level, elevate both operational and continuity risk.
The opportunity
Approved budget amendments for equipment signal near-term procurement activity, and the incoming Executive Director creates a timely window for infrastructure decisions that will shape emergency response resilience for years. Acting now aligns capital investment with active planning cycles and addresses documented continuity gaps before the next critical incident.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has documented gaps in meeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards across public-facing digital properties, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities. This is an active compliance obligation, not a discretionary initiative.
The opportunity
Web accessibility remediation is a discrete, independently plannable project that can advance within the current fiscal cycle without dependency on broader leadership transitions. Addressing compliance proactively reduces legal risk and demonstrates public commitment to equitable service delivery.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Monitoring Readiness
Fleet Management · Operational Oversight
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a vehicle fleet without a telematics solution, creating gaps in real-time visibility, driver behavior monitoring, and operational accountability. No compliance mandates or documented safety incidents currently elevate near-term urgency, positioning this as a foundational infrastructure gap rather than an immediate risk.
The opportunity
As higher-priority operational initiatives advance, establishing fleet visibility infrastructure supports long-term stewardship of public assets and may align with future budget cycles or equipment funding amendments already in motion. Early planning ensures readiness when procurement capacity and leadership bandwidth allow.
