Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a verifiable Emergency Operations Plan and a department-controlled mass notification system, leaving critical preparedness gaps after major flood incidents with no documented after-action reviews. NIMS adoption is required for grant compliance, and EOP completion is a condition for FEMA SAFER grant eligibility.
The opportunity
Active grant opportunities and a confirmed FY start of October 1, 2026 create a near-term funding window for emergency preparedness investment. Addressing these gaps now satisfies compliance mandates, strengthens community resilience, and positions the department to qualify for federal grant programs.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has documented fleet-involved accidents, aging apparatus, and no department-wide dash-camera or telematics deployment, creating measurable safety and liability exposure. These gaps drive operational inefficiencies and elevate risk to personnel and the public without real-time visibility into fleet performance.
The opportunity
Significant capital budget allocations for fleet modernization and an imminent fiscal year start create a clear, time-sensitive procurement window. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline acquisition, and this initiative is eligible for alignment with existing equipment and safety funding streams.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department currently relies on an outsourced IT provider for endpoint management, limiting direct oversight and control. Identified compliance mandates for password management and annual cybersecurity training remain unmet by existing tooling, elevating operational and audit risk.
The opportunity
With an established IT and software budget and an imminent fiscal year start, this is an optimal window to bring endpoint and credential management capabilities in-house or upgrade them. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens the department's cybersecurity posture ahead of the new budget cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing web presence lacks verifiable WCAG/ADA conformance, creating legal and compliance exposure. Ongoing grant administration carries Section 504 accessibility requirements, adding regulatory urgency to remediation efforts.
The opportunity
An upcoming web platform contract renewal creates a natural transition point to close accessibility gaps before the next fiscal year begins. Acting now aligns remediation with active procurement, satisfies Section 504 grant conditions, and reduces audit and litigation risk.
Establishing Independent Emergency Communications Capability
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department relies entirely on a county-level mass notification system, leaving it without autonomous communications control during incidents. This dependency creates a critical operational gap, particularly given documented exposure to major flood events and the absence of a verified Emergency Operations Plan.
The opportunity
Active emergency preparedness grant opportunities and an imminent fiscal year start create a well-aligned funding and procurement window. Establishing department-controlled communications now directly supports NIMS compliance, grant eligibility, and the ability to protect life and property during declared disasters.
