Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has limited local mass notification capability, and shows no evidence of HSEEP-style exercises. NIMS compliance and EOP review mandates remain unmet, creating measurable operational and regulatory risk for the community.
The opportunity
The HSGP FY2026 grant window, closing July 24, 2026, explicitly supports emergency communications and preparedness technology with federal funding available now. Paired with an active county Hazard Mitigation Plan update, this is a high-alignment moment to close critical preparedness gaps and meet compliance requirements.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department currently relies on a county-administered alerting system for mass notifications, leaving a critical gap in independent, incident-level communication capability. This dependency creates preparedness and NIMS compliance risk, particularly during fast-moving incidents requiring immediate, autonomous public alerting.
The opportunity
The HSGP FY2026 grant explicitly supports emergency communications technology and carries a near-term deadline, creating a defined funding window. Acting now aligns with new fire department leadership, an active procurement environment, and the broader mandate to close documented emergency preparedness gaps.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Apparatus Safety Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The fire department has experienced recent fleet-involved accidents—including a fire truck crash and an EMS apparatus incident—drawing public scrutiny and exposing gaps in driver safety oversight. No integrated fleet telematics solution is currently in place, creating measurable operational and liability risk as new apparatus acquisitions proceed.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–27 department budget and active apparatus purchase orders signal capital readiness, making this an ideal moment to integrate telematics alongside new fleet investments. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, reduce administrative burden, and accelerate deployment within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Legacy Endpoint Platform Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The department relies on a legacy endpoint and patch management platform that introduces security and operational continuity risks. Recent hardware procurement activity signals an active IT environment where unmanaged endpoints may widen the vulnerability surface for public-sector data and services.
The opportunity
An active procurement cycle and recent leadership transitions create organizational readiness to reassess endpoint strategy ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning period. Modernizing now reduces operational risk, supports compliance posture, and aligns with available cooperative purchasing vehicles that simplify acquisition.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Active efforts are underway to bring county digital properties into alignment with WCAG and ADA requirements, including accessibility initiatives tied to parks and recreation facilities. Gaps in digital compliance expose the county to legal risk and limit equitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
ADA compliance mandates create immediate urgency, and addressing digital accessibility gaps now supports equitable service delivery while reducing liability exposure. This work aligns with current fiscal planning cycles and may be eligible for state or federal accessibility funding streams.
