Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces unverified EOP status, gaps in multi-agency exercise coordination, and unconfirmed mass notification reliability — creating direct compliance exposure under NIMS and hazard mitigation plan mandates. These gaps elevate operational risk for residents and first responders during declared emergencies or wildfire events.
The opportunity
An active Hazard Mitigation Plan, Community Wildfire Defense Grant, and recently adopted FY2027 budget create a clear and current funding window to address preparedness gaps. Acting now aligns with grant cycles, reduces compliance risk, and strengthens multi-agency response readiness before the next emergency event.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Existing emergency alerting infrastructure is fragmented across multiple legacy platforms, resulting in unverified performance and unreliable public reach during critical incidents. Unresolved gaps in mass notification capability and EOP readiness elevate operational and NIMS compliance risk for the county.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY2027 budget and an authorized dispatch communications replacement create an active procurement window. Consolidating notification infrastructure now reduces incident response risk, supports hazard mitigation plan alignment, and positions the county to leverage available emergency preparedness funding.

Public Safety · Emergency Communications
High Priority
About this project
The county has authorized a replacement and expansion of its dispatch communications infrastructure, signaling an active procurement effort to modernize public safety operations. Aging or fragmented dispatch systems elevate operational risk for first responders and the communities they serve.
The opportunity
With the FY2027 budget adopted and procurement already authorized, this initiative is in an active funding window with high timing urgency. Acting within the current cycle ensures continuity of public safety communications and positions the county to leverage available grant and budget resources.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline by 2028, creating legal exposure and public access risk across its digital properties. Residents relying on county web portals may face barriers to services if remediation is not initiated ahead of the deadline.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget cycle represents an active funding window to begin remediation work before the 2028 deadline. Acting now reduces legal and compliance risk while improving equitable digital access for all residents.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Credential Management
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Texas state mandates require annual cybersecurity training, and the county's existing endpoint security and IT management infrastructure has identified gaps in credential and access management. Unresolved, these gaps elevate compliance risk and expose county systems and public data to unauthorized access.
The opportunity
The FY2026 local JAG program provides an eligible funding path for cybersecurity and IT management improvements, and the recently adopted FY2027 budget signals an active procurement window. Acting now aligns investment with compliance mandates and reduces operational risk ahead of the next audit cycle.

Discuss this project →Sheriff's Office Fleet & Field Technology Modernization
Public Safety · Fleet Operations
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office has an active initiative to modernize fleet and field operations technology, with identified gaps in fleet safety data visibility. While immediate liability risk is currently low, unaddressed data gaps create operational blind spots that can affect deputy safety and accountability.
The opportunity
The PROTECT Competitive Grant Program offers a viable funding pathway for surface transportation resilience investments, reducing reliance on general fund dollars. Acting within the current grant window and the recently adopted FY2027 budget cycle positions the county to advance this strategic initiative without delay.
