Emergency Operations Plan Review & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan review is overdue and NIMS compliance is required to maintain federal funding eligibility. Recent power outages, dispatch failures, and interim leadership have exposed critical preparedness gaps that elevate both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Upcoming grant deadlines in mid-2026 (including hazard mitigation and homeland security programs) create a time-sensitive funding window aligned with this project. Acting now supports continuity of federal eligibility, strengthens community resilience, and fits within the current annual IT and public safety budget cycle.
EOC Infrastructure Resilience and Continuity Upgrades
Emergency Management · Critical Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The FEMA-approved Hazard Mitigation Plan and Master Plan CIP identify urgent needs for EOC facility evaluation and backup power for shelter readiness. Recurring power outages and dispatch failures expose the community to significant operational risk during emergencies, with compliance mandates for EOP review and NIMS implementation currently overdue.
The opportunity
The BRIC grant explicitly references EOC upgrades and resilience hardware, with a July 2026 deadline creating a defined and time-sensitive funding window. Strategic intent is already documented in adopted plans, positioning this project for accelerated action that strengthens emergency continuity and protects residents.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The entity has an unresolved compliance gap with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards required under Title II obligations for public-facing digital services. The current website platform limits remediation options, leaving residents without equitable access and exposing the entity to legal and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The upcoming budget cycle creates a near-term window to address accessibility obligations before legal exposure escalates. Remediating this gap improves public service delivery for all residents and aligns with federally mandated digital access requirements eligible for technology modernization funding.

Cybersecurity · Homeland Security
High Priority
About this project
Monroe County has existing endpoint management tools in place, but recognized gaps in broader cybersecurity coverage—particularly around password management and homeland security objectives—leave critical systems and public data at risk. Compliance mandates and federal funding alignment signal an urgent need for enhanced or complementary cybersecurity capabilities.
The opportunity
HSGP grant funding with a July 2026 deadline directly supports cybersecurity investments aligned with homeland security objectives, offering a time-sensitive procurement window. Acting within the current grant cycle enables the county to close coverage gaps, strengthen resilience, and leverage available funding with limited local match required.
