Emergency Operations Plan Formalization and Compliance
Emergency Management · NIMS Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The jurisdiction lacks a confirmed Emergency Operations Plan, has experienced local resource exhaustion during past tornado events, and faces significantly reduced EMPG funding. NIMS compliance mandates and documented preparedness gaps elevate operational and regulatory risk for residents and emergency staff.
The opportunity
Federal programs including BRIC, EMPG, and HSGP directly fund emergency management planning, and ARPA dollars must be obligated by end of 2026—creating a near-term window to act. A leadership transition in the Emergency Management Coordinator role presents a timely opening to advance formalized planning and close critical preparedness gaps.
Emergency Warning Siren Installation and Hazard Mitigation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's hazard mitigation plan identifies emergency warning siren installation as a confirmed strategic priority, yet critical gaps remain in public alerting infrastructure. Past tornado events have exposed local resource limitations and an unconfirmed EOP, elevating risk to residents and NIMS compliance standing.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including BRIC and EMPG are actively aligned with this initiative, and ARPA funds must be obligated by end of 2026, creating a near-term funding window. Acting within the current 90-day horizon advances hazard mitigation compliance, strengthens community warning capabilities, and maximizes available federal dollars.
Password & Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The organization has identified an active need to replace its current password management solution, signaling a critical gap in credential security controls. Without a modern credential management platform, staff accounts and sensitive public data remain exposed to unauthorized access and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Secondary cybersecurity funding paths and available ARPA funds—with a distribution deadline of end of 2026—create a near-term window to act. Modernizing credential management now reduces operational risk, supports IT security compliance, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Existing public-facing digital assets do not meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, creating legal exposure and excluding residents with disabilities from essential government services. Compliance gaps elevate risk of civil rights complaints and ADA-related enforcement action.
The opportunity
ARPA funds available through end of 2026 provide a near-term funding pathway for remediation efforts, making this an ideal time to act before the window closes. Achieving WCAG 2.1 AA compliance reduces legal liability, broadens equitable access, and demonstrates responsible stewardship of public digital infrastructure.
Endpoint Management & IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Security
High Priority
About this project
Endpoint management has been identified as an unaddressed gap, and a concurrent technology contract renewal suggests the current IT environment may be fragmented and inconsistently managed. Without a unified endpoint strategy, operational continuity, data integrity, and security posture remain at risk.
The opportunity
ARPA funds available through end of 2026 and cooperative purchasing agreements provide accessible, low-friction procurement pathways to act now. Aligning this initiative with an active HR/financial system replacement creates momentum for a broader, cost-effective IT modernization effort within the current fiscal window.
