Emergency Preparedness & Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan, has unresolved gaps in mass notification capabilities, and has not confirmed integration with countywide public-alert systems. Compliance mandates including the NERIS transition and fire-incident reporting requirements make closing these preparedness gaps an immediate operational and regulatory priority.
The opportunity
A statewide grant for volunteer fire departments and dedicated emergency management budget allocations provide active funding pathways to address these gaps now. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens coordinated response capabilities for residents and first responders.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified a critical gap in emergency preparedness: the absence of a mobile command center limits field coordination and incident command during major emergencies. Without this capability, unified response operations remain vulnerable, increasing risk to residents and first responders during large-scale incidents.
The opportunity
Emergency management capital budget increases and a statewide fire department grant program provide viable, near-term funding pathways for this acquisition. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle strengthens incident command readiness, addresses documented preparedness gaps, and advances compliance with evolving emergency management standards.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Hamilton County has active compliance drivers tied to a cybersecurity grant, with significant budget increases in Sheriff's Information Systems and capital outlays for computing infrastructure. A confirmed cybersecurity software procurement is underway, signaling urgency to strengthen defenses protecting county operations and public data.
The opportunity
A time-sensitive grant opportunity of up to $189,200 earmarked for cybersecurity software aligns directly with the county's current procurement effort and fiscal planning cycle. Acting within this funding window reduces financial burden on local budgets while advancing compliance and operational resilience for county staff and residents.

Fleet Management · Sustainability & Operational Efficiency
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively acquiring new vehicles and implementing a fleet management system, with $45K budgeted, alongside planned electric vehicle purchases and charging station infrastructure. These parallel initiatives create operational complexity requiring coordinated planning to ensure efficiency, cost accountability, and sustainability mandate alignment.
The opportunity
Active budget allocations and new vehicle acquisitions signal near-term procurement readiness, making this an ideal entry point for a phased, multi-year fleet modernization effort. Addressing fleet management and EV infrastructure together now maximizes stewardship of public funds and positions the county ahead of future sustainability requirements.
