Emergency Operations Plan and Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an undocumented EOP review status, unclear mass notification contract terms, and no public after-action review following a recent severe winter storm. NIMS adoption is required for federal grant eligibility, adding a pressing compliance driver to existing operational risk.
The opportunity
A confirmed state safety grant provides immediate available funding, and a significant additional grant opportunity is accessible as a subapplicant through Tennessee — both aligned with the current 90-day action window. Addressing these gaps now strengthens community resilience, satisfies federal compliance requirements, and positions the department to compete for larger preparedness funding.
State Safety Grant $50,500

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates aging apparatus — including a 1998 pumper and a 2006 aerial quint — with limited fleet-risk documentation and no telematics oversight. A recorded high-severity operational hazard involving a winch and electrical lines underscores the safety exposure facing personnel and the public.
The opportunity
A confirmed cooperative purchasing agreement streamlines procurement and reduces administrative burden. Addressing fleet-risk visibility now supports firefighter safety, operational continuity, and responsible stewardship of public safety resources ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A centralized IT structure with documented outsourcing activity supports an active mandate to maintain endpoint security controls, yet confidence and funding status for the modernization initiative remain low. With an established annual IT and software spend of approximately $147K, gaps in credential security and endpoint management present measurable operational risk.
The opportunity
An existing IT budget baseline and cooperative purchasing availability simplify procurement and reduce administrative burden within the current fiscal cycle. Advancing this initiative now strengthens security posture, supports compliance with endpoint control mandates, and positions the department to leverage eligible state and federal funding pathways.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department has a stated digital accessibility commitment and an ADA notice in place, but WCAG conformance remains unverified, creating a measurable compliance gap. Unresolved conformance issues expose the entity to legal risk and limit equitable public access to essential digital services.
The opportunity
Addressing WCAG conformance gaps now reduces legal exposure and aligns with the department's active digital accessibility initiative ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle. Remediation efforts may be eligible for state or federal funding and support broader equitable service delivery goals.
Credential & Password Security Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Centralized IT operations and documented outsourcing activity create exposure where unmanaged credentials can become a critical vulnerability. While no specific password security mandate is currently identified, an active endpoint security requirement provides a compliance-adjacent foundation for addressing credential hygiene gaps.
The opportunity
Credential management controls are a natural extension of an ongoing cybersecurity modernization effort, allowing agencies to strengthen security posture without launching a separate initiative. Cooperative purchasing agreements may support streamlined procurement, and alignment with the current IT planning cycle can reduce cost and implementation friction.
