Unify County Emergency Communications & Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Goliad County operates fragmented mass notification systems across county and city jurisdictions, with documented radio dead zones and a history of warning system failures. The existing NG911 Core Services contract expires September 20, 2026, creating an immediate compliance and continuity decision point for county leadership.
The opportunity
A funded Phase 4 communications upgrade ($1.8M) is actively budgeted, and an upcoming budget hearing on September 8, 2026 opens a near-term window to align consolidation planning with appropriated resources. Acting now reduces operational risk, supports NIMS-aligned EOP compliance, and positions the county for potential USDA Rural Development funding eligibility.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Goliad County has documented a critical gap in automated flood-warning capability, with historical system failures exposing residents to preventable risk during flood events. The absence of a reliable, countywide warning system elevates both public safety and compliance risk under ongoing emergency management mandates.
The opportunity
FY2026-27 budget allocations for emergency management systems and an upcoming budget hearing on September 8, 2026 create a near-term funding pathway. Acting now aligns with NIMS compliance requirements, addresses a documented preparedness gap, and positions the county to pursue available state and federal funding support.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has formally documented a lack of standby power at critical facilities as an emergency preparedness gap, leaving essential operations exposed during power outages and disaster events. Without reliable backup power, continuity of life-safety services and NIMS-aligned emergency response cannot be assured.
The opportunity
This project is an identified and funded priority, with FY2026-27 budget increases for emergency management and public safety tech supporting near-term procurement. Acting within the current budget cycle closes a documented gap and strengthens the county's operational resilience and EOP compliance posture.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is mandated to maintain and periodically review its Emergency Operations Plan and sustain NIMS-aligned capabilities, yet documented gaps in flood warning, countywide communications, and backup power elevate operational and life-safety risk. Split notification systems and historical warning failures compound the compliance exposure.
The opportunity
An active FY2026–27 budget cycle includes dedicated emergency management allocations, and a critical NG911 contract expiration in September 2026 creates an immediate decision window. Addressing EOP gaps now aligns with funded initiatives, supports USDA Rural Development eligibility, and strengthens countywide resilience before the next review cycle.
Cybersecurity Upgrade & Endpoint Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces active compliance mandates for annual cybersecurity training, certification, and password security, alongside broader IT infrastructure modernization requirements. A confirmed cybersecurity upgrade grant and proposed FY2026-27 IT budget increase to $744k signal funded but time-sensitive planning obligations.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, with an October 9, 2026 deadline, offers a near-term funding pathway aligned to this project. Acting within the current fiscal cycle maximizes grant eligibility, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens countywide cyber resilience.

Discuss this project →Sheriff's Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office and county jail currently operate without dash-cam or telematics solutions, creating gaps in vehicle safety visibility and accountability despite active fleet spending and auto-liability coverage. This absence of documented fleet monitoring elevates operational and liability risk for the county.
The opportunity
The budget-approved Sheriff/Jail fleet replacement initiative for FY2026-27 creates a timely entry point to integrate safety and telematics capabilities, with cooperative purchasing vehicles available to streamline procurement. Conditional grant funding may further offset costs, making this an actionable opportunity within the current fiscal cycle.
