Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
DMRA lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan and relies on social media for public notifications, despite documented past disaster exposure. The absence of structured preparedness and NIMS compliance creates significant operational risk and disqualifies the authority from federal preparedness grant funding.
The opportunity
NIMS adoption is a prerequisite for federal preparedness grant eligibility, and an aligned grant opportunity creates a near-term funding window with strong mission-outcome fit. Acting within the current planning cycle positions DMRA to close critical preparedness gaps and secure external funding with limited local match required.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
DMRA currently relies on Facebook for emergency communications, with no dedicated mass-notification platform, no documented EOP, and a history of disaster exposure. This gap leaves staff and visitors without reliable, scalable alerts during incidents, elevating both operational and compliance risk under NIMS requirements for federal preparedness grants.
The opportunity
An identified grant opportunity explicitly covers mass notification and emergency management with potential federal funding, creating a near-term window to close a critical preparedness gap. A greenfield implementation avoids displacement complexity, and acting within the current grant cycle aligns with FY26 budget planning and NIMS compliance obligations.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Management
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
DMRA operates an active Polaris rental fleet in a high-risk off-road environment with no telematics solution in place. The absence of vehicle tracking, inspection records, and incident video capture creates significant liability exposure and operational safety gaps for staff and the public.
The opportunity
An ongoing rental fleet expansion makes this an immediately actionable and strategically aligned initiative. Addressing the telematics gap now supports risk management, strengthens safety documentation, and aligns with the FY26 capital planning and grant funding cycle.
Strengthen Credential Security and Reduce Cyber Risk
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
DMRA has experienced malware incidents and operates with minimal internal IT capacity, leaving credentials and systems exposed to ongoing attack risk. Strengthening password security is a flagged compliance and operational need with direct implications for continuity of public services.
The opportunity
With a lean IT budget and documented incident history, a low-overhead credential management approach is achievable within current or near-term fiscal planning. Addressing this now reduces operational liability and positions the authority for stronger security posture ahead of future grant or audit scrutiny.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
DMRA's public-facing website and digital services have identified WCAG/ADA compliance gaps that expose the authority to legal and reputational risk. Without remediation, residents and visitors with disabilities face barriers to accessing public information and services.
The opportunity
The FY26 budget cycle, supported by federal and state grant funding, opens a near-term planning window to address accessibility deficiencies. Acting now reduces legal exposure, improves equitable service delivery, and positions the authority to align remediation costs with available public funding.
