Emergency Operations Plan Development for SWCD
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
DeWitt County SWCD lacks a district-specific Emergency Operations Plan, leaving staff and operations exposed amid recent county disaster declarations. A fragmented mass notification environment and unresolved grant funding eligibility gaps compound preparedness risk and operational continuity concerns.
The opportunity
Active FY2027 budget planning, a proposed $100,000 alert system allocation, and alignment with emergency management grant programs signal strong near-term procurement readiness. Funded Mutual Aid agreement timelines and available federal grant windows make this an urgent, fiscally supported opportunity to close critical preparedness gaps.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently operates two separate mass notification platforms, creating coverage gaps and operational inefficiencies identified among its top three emergency preparedness deficiencies. This fragmented environment increases response risk and complicates staff coordination during declared disasters or emergencies.
The opportunity
Active budget proposals totaling $150,000 signal near-term procurement readiness, and federal grants including HMGP and EMPG are aligned with this project scope. Consolidating now reduces redundancy, strengthens compliance posture, and positions the district to maximize available emergency preparedness funding before the upcoming fiscal cycle closes.
Cybersecurity Training & Credential Management Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces active cybersecurity training, reporting, and password management compliance requirements with a hard August 31st deadline. Unmet mandates elevate operational and security risk, leaving staff credentials and sensitive public data potentially exposed.
The opportunity
The August 31st deadline creates immediate urgency, and HSGP grant funding identifies cybersecurity as an eligible use, offering a viable funding path within the current cycle. Acting now addresses compliance risk and aligns with the district's existing annual IT and software budget allocations.
Fleet Visibility & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent Sheriff's Office vehicle total loss valued at over $53,000 has exposed significant fleet risk, with no documented safety technology or monitoring practices currently in place. This gap increases liability exposure and operational risk for county personnel and the public.
The opportunity
The PROTECT grant, which funds technology deployment for resilient surface transportation, is an identified funding pathway aligned to this project. Acting within the current grant window and FY planning cycle enables the district to reduce incident risk and strengthen fleet accountability with limited local match required.

Discuss this project →Road & Bridge Management Software Implementation
Public Works Management · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has recently committed to adopting road and bridge tracking software, signaling an active public works modernization initiative. This effort aligns with broader infrastructure investments including fiber optics and SCADA assessment, making integration planning and data continuity critical to operational success.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget planning is actively underway, creating a near-term window to align procurement and adjacent integrations before funding cycles close. State conservation board budget increases may provide supplemental resources, and the current implementation phase offers the lowest-friction entry point for expanding infrastructure capability.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has documented website accessibility requirements but remains out of full compliance, creating legal and operational exposure. A Website Accessibility Committee has been formed, signaling active organizational acknowledgment of the gap and a remediation effort now underway.
The opportunity
The active committee formation and FY2026 audit cycle create a near-term window to close compliance gaps before reporting deadlines. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal risk, improves equitable public access to services, and aligns with current fiscal planning cycles.
