Hazard Mitigation Plan & Emergency Management Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Foard County's regional Hazard Mitigation Action Plan requires an overdue update, with unverified EOP status, unconfirmed mass notification exercise history, and minimal emergency management tech investment. Annual plan review and NIMS adoption mandates elevate compliance and operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
An active regional planning cycle, identified grant funding, and a fiscal year-end deadline of September 30 create an immediate window to act. Advancing this project now closes critical preparedness gaps, satisfies compliance mandates, and positions the county to leverage available public safety funding.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's current IT provider is no longer meeting operational needs, with identified gaps in endpoint management and credential security across public safety departments. A dedicated cybersecurity budget is in place, and unresolved vulnerabilities in sheriff and criminal justice operations elevate both compliance and mission risk.
The opportunity
A budget workshop and fiscal year-end are imminent, making this an active window for near-term procurement decisions. Federal justice assistance funding has been identified as a potential path to offset costs, and cooperative purchasing options may further streamline acquisition for eligible solutions.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Foard County's public-facing web properties must meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards by 2028, creating a firm compliance deadline for digital remediation. Without a staged plan, the county risks last-minute costs, ADA-related exposure, and inequitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Website improvements are already part of active budget planning, making the current fiscal cycle an ideal window to begin phased remediation before costs and complexity increase. Early action supports equitable public access, reduces compliance risk, and aligns investment with existing budget allocations.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active fleet replacement budget covering sheriff and fire vehicles, with documented maintenance cost overruns in fire operations. Current fleet visibility gaps present a preventive safety and fiscal stewardship risk before incidents or insurance impacts occur.
The opportunity
An existing fleet replacement budget and a September 30 fiscal year-end create a near-term window to integrate telematics and safety monitoring alongside planned vehicle procurement. Cooperative purchasing pathways may simplify acquisition and maximize the value of budgeted public funds.
