Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks public evidence of a current Emergency Operations Plan, has an unconfirmed mass notification capability, and has not documented after-action reviews following severe weather exposure. NIMS/HSEEP compliance obligations remain unmet, creating compounding regulatory and operational risk for the department and the communities it serves.
The opportunity
A confirmed 2026 Volunteer Firefighter Equipment and Training Grant ($80,830), active NIMS/HSEEP compliance pressure, and county-level strategic investment in emergency management leadership signal a well-funded, time-sensitive window to close critical preparedness gaps and reduce mission risk.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a fragmented emergency communications environment, with CAD/dispatch and mass notification handled by separate, disconnected systems—limiting unified response capability. The department's own mass notification posture remains undefined, and NIMS/HSEEP compliance obligations create mounting operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
A confirmed Volunteer Firefighter Equipment and Training Grant and aligned TEMA preparedness funding create a near-term window to address critical communications gaps. Acting now supports NIMS/HSEEP compliance, strengthens coordinated emergency response, and positions the department ahead of the next fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Oversight Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has sustained significant fleet losses — including two totaled vans and three auctioned vehicles — driving up insurance costs and exposing gaps in driver behavior monitoring and incident prevention. Without structured fleet oversight, operational risk and liability exposure continue to grow.
The opportunity
Recurring fleet incidents present a clear, documented case for investment framed around cost avoidance and risk reduction, aligning well with near-term budget planning cycles. Addressing fleet oversight now can reduce insurance burden, protect public assets, and strengthen departmental accountability.
