Emergency Operations Plan Development and EOC Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently operates without a formal Emergency Operations Plan, lacks department-owned mass notification capability, and has no after-action documentation from recent severe weather events. These gaps create significant preparedness and operational continuity risk for an active emergency response organization.
The opportunity
A recent grant award and the county's ongoing Public Safety Building and EOC upgrade create a near-term, funded window to close critical preparedness gaps. Acting within the current planning cycle aligns with the strategic initiative timeline and positions the department for improved incident coordination and compliance readiness.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently depends on county-managed mass notification infrastructure without direct ownership or control, creating a critical gap in the ability to independently alert staff and the public during incidents. This dependency introduces operational risk, limits departmental autonomy, and leaves notification capabilities vulnerable to county-level changes or priorities.
The opportunity
A recent grant award signals available funding, and alignment with the county's EOC upgrade initiative creates a timely window to establish department-owned alerting capabilities. Acting within the current planning cycle reduces dependency risk, strengthens incident response, and positions the department ahead of broader public safety infrastructure changes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Sevier County's new Public Safety Building includes an upgraded Emergency Operations Center, but the department lacks a current EOP, department-owned mass notification, and after-action documentation. These gaps elevate operational and continuity risk during severe weather and other critical incidents.
The opportunity
A recently awarded grant provides available funding, and the EOC build-out creates a defined, near-term window to close preparedness gaps and formalize incident coordination. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with the strategic initiative and strengthens community emergency response outcomes.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department has a documented mandate to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA compliance by 2027, with a specific focus on PDF and document accessibility remediation. Unaddressed gaps increase legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government information and services.
The opportunity
The 2027 deadline creates a defined remediation window, and staging efforts by risk severity now reduces compliance exposure and distributes costs across fiscal cycles. Proactive remediation aligns with public equity obligations and may be eligible for state or federal accessibility funding pathways.
