Emergency Operations Plan Update & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is more than seven years old and critically overdue for review, creating measurable compliance and operational risk. Recent State of Emergency declarations and active HMEP grant requirements further mandate an current, actionable EOP be in place to protect residents and staff.
The opportunity
Active funding paths tied to the 911 millage, State of Emergency declarations, and HMEP grant requirements create a timely window to advance this initiative within the current budget cycle. Incoming leadership transitions in 2025 present a strategic opening to modernize emergency management planning and strengthen community resilience.

Airport Safety & Compliance · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
Delta County faces urgent, unresolved FAA Part 139 compliance deficiencies at its airport, carrying severe regulatory consequences if not remediated by the near-term deadline. Active solicitations for ARFF and service center renovations—including communications and security infrastructure—signal the county is already in procurement mode.
The opportunity
A firm regulatory deadline and active procurement cycle create a narrow, high-urgency window to address compliance gaps before penalties are imposed. Funding pathways exist through emergency management allocations and the county's confirmed cooperative purchasing participation, reducing procurement friction and supporting timely resolution.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Delta County's Emergency Operations Center and 800 MHz radio communications infrastructure have identified gaps that limit effective emergency response. This initiative is fully funded and a top strategic priority, with interim systems signaling an accelerated transition timeline and active procurement readiness.
The opportunity
Funding is confirmed and procurement decisions are imminent, aligning with active budget approvals and 911 millage allocations for public safety infrastructure. Acting within the current cycle reduces communication risk, supports FAA Part 139 compliance, and strengthens countywide emergency response capacity.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Delta County's current notification environment is fragmented, with communication barriers flagged as part of a broader emergency preparedness gap alongside an EOP that is years overdue. The absence of a unified mass notification system elevates operational and public safety risk, particularly given recent State of Emergency declarations.
The opportunity
Active budget support through 911 millage and emergency management funding paths—alongside aligned grant opportunities with near-term deadlines—makes this an urgent window to consolidate and modernize public alerting capabilities. Addressing this gap now strengthens community resilience, supports compliance, and aligns with the county's current strategic initiatives.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing WordPress site and PDF documents present active ADA and WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable access for residents. A remediation effort is already underway, signaling leadership awareness and near-term procurement readiness for supporting tools.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 compliance is a non-discretionary mandate, making this a budget-justified priority independent of broader fiscal constraints. Acting within the current remediation cycle ensures continuity of progress, reduces legal risk, and supports equitable digital access for all constituents.

Discuss this project →County Hazard Mitigation Plan Development
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Delta County has identified hazard mitigation planning as a high-priority initiative to assess and reduce long-term risk from natural and man-made hazards. This effort is compounded by an overdue Emergency Operations Plan, creating layered compliance and operational risk for the county and residents it serves.
The opportunity
HMEP grant funding is actively tied to this initiative, providing a defined and available funding pathway with limited local match burden. Acting within the current grant window addresses compounding preparedness gaps and positions the county for stronger emergency response outcomes ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
