Emergency Operations Plan Verification & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
DeKalb County's Emergency Operations Plan is unverified in age and status, creating measurable preparedness and compliance risk amid documented severe weather exposure. Compliance mandates require an active, validated Basic Emergency Operations Plan, and current gaps in readiness have been flagged as a primary operational concern.
The opportunity
The approved FY2027 budget includes increased public safety and EMS funding, opening a near-term procurement window aligned with compliance-driven BEOP requirements. New EMS leadership creates additional momentum for fresh initiative prioritization, making this an actionable moment to close readiness gaps and protect residents.
Mass Notification System Continuity & Stabilization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent platform transition for the county's reverse-911 and mass notification system has introduced continuity and integration risks during a critical changeover period. These gaps directly threaten the county's ability to reliably alert residents and staff during emergencies, with BEOP compliance obligations adding further urgency.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget has been approved with explicit funding allocated for the new mass notification platform, creating an active and well-supported procurement window. Stabilizing this system now reduces public safety risk, supports BEOP compliance, and ensures uninterrupted emergency communication for residents and first responders.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has an ADA commitment on record but lacks documented WCAG conformance across public-facing digital properties, creating legal exposure and barriers for residents who depend on accessible online services. This gap represents a moderate but significant compliance risk requiring structured remediation.
The opportunity
Addressing WCAG conformance gaps within the current budget cycle reduces legal liability and improves equitable service delivery for all constituents. This initiative aligns with existing ADA obligations and can be scoped to fit within the county's annual IT planning and procurement thresholds.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks fleet-wide visibility, including dash cameras and telematics, across school and public safety vehicles, creating measurable insurance cost exposure and unmonitored driver behavior risk. Without safety analytics, leadership has no data-driven mechanism to reduce liability or demonstrate proactive risk management to insurers or the public.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY2027 budget, which includes capital allocations for sheriff and EMS vehicles, creates a timely opening to extend investment into fleet monitoring. Proactive deployment of telematics and safety analytics can reduce insurance premiums, strengthen operational accountability, and align with the county's broader public safety modernization priorities.
Ransomware Recovery: Endpoint Security & Incident Response
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recent ransomware incident has exposed critical gaps in the county's endpoint protection and incident response capabilities. Without documented cybersecurity controls in place, the county remains operationally vulnerable to repeat events that could disrupt public services and compromise sensitive data.
The opportunity
The post-incident environment has elevated leadership urgency and receptivity, creating a timely opening aligned with the newly approved FY2027 budget's public safety and operational improvement priorities. Addressing endpoint security and credential protection now reduces recurrence risk and supports responsible stewardship of public infrastructure.
