Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, fragmented mass notification systems, and documented communication failures during a wildfire. Power outage vulnerabilities and siloed alert systems compound operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The opening of a new Emergency Services Center in late summer 2026 and an active FY 2026 Nonprofit Security Grant Program create a time-sensitive window to address these gaps with available funding. The July 2026 board approval of 2027 budgets establishes a near-term decision point to advance preparedness and protect community safety.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing website has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to public services. The current website provider does not appear to be proactively addressing the requirement, leaving the organization at risk of non-compliance.
The opportunity
A hard federal compliance deadline of April 26, 2027 makes this a near-term, budget-justified priority with a defined remediation window. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows time for assessment, procurement, and implementation while aligning with active budget planning already underway.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a nine-vehicle fleet with no telematics platform and documented maintenance backlogs flagged by the Road Goals Subcommittee. Without real-time vehicle visibility, aging equipment risks go undetected, elevating operational liability and public safety exposure.
The opportunity
Active capital investment in public safety equipment and an emerging procurement rhythm around vehicle safety technology signal a timely window for a first-deployment telematics initiative. Tennessee grants for public safety and capital equipment may offer eligible funding pathways aligned with the upcoming budget cycle.
IT and Cybersecurity Modernization for Public Safety Operations
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Fairfield Glade Fire Department is undertaking an IT and cybersecurity modernization initiative amid very low current technology spend and incoming leadership across key operational roles. Limited visibility into cybersecurity posture and fragmented systems create operational and data security risk for a department managing active public safety responsibilities.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 Nonprofit Security Grant Program represents a viable funding path for cybersecurity improvements, and the July 2026 board IT Committee review and 2027 budget approval create an immediate planning window. New leadership transitions and a forthcoming Emergency Services Center opening make this an optimal moment to establish a modernized, resilient technology baseline.
