Emergency Operations & Continuity Plan Development
Emergency Management · Continuity of Operations
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP), with no documented exercises or audits on record. This gap creates significant compliance exposure under state emergency management mandates and elevates operational risk to staff, services, and the public.
The opportunity
Established federal grant programs, including BRIC and HSGP, are identified as primary funding paths for emergency preparedness initiatives, reducing the local budget burden. A proposed budget increase and one-time project funding signal readiness to act within the current fiscal cycle.
Modernize Enterprise Mass Notification for Emergency Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks an enterprise mass-notification contract and relies on a general-purpose delivery tool, despite being subject to state emergency management mandates. This gap — compounded by the absence of a public EOP/COOP and no documented exercises — elevates operational and compliance risk for staff and the public.
The opportunity
A statewide mass notification modernization initiative creates a near-term window to act with institutional momentum. BRIC and HSGP grants are identified funding paths, and cooperative procurement vehicles are already accessible, reducing acquisition complexity. Advancing this project now closes a critical preparedness gap and aligns with the current fiscal and grant cycle.
Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces documented gaps in WCAG 2.1 compliance across web content and PDF/document accessibility, creating legal exposure and barriers to public access. A federal ADA web rule deadline of April 24, 2027 establishes a firm compliance mandate with significant operational and reputational risk if unaddressed.
The opportunity
The 2027 federal deadline creates a time-bound window for remediation planning within the current and upcoming fiscal cycles. With substantial annual IT budget capacity and access to cooperative purchasing vehicles, the department is well-positioned to execute a compliant, cost-effective solution now.

IT Modernization · ADA/WCAG Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing digital infrastructure has identified gaps in service delivery and accessibility, with federal ADA/WCAG 2.1 compliance mandated by April 2027. Failure to modernize risks non-compliance, reduced public access to services, and potential legal exposure.
The opportunity
Confirmed cooperative procurement vehicles and existing state contracts lower barriers to action, and available budget capacity supports near-term prioritization. Advancing this initiative within the current fiscal cycle aligns with compliance deadlines and improves equitable digital service delivery for all residents.
