Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Grainger County's July 2026 flooding—resulting in 30 rescues and a declared state of emergency—exposed critical gaps in emergency coordination and public alerting. EOP review compliance is unverified, the existing mass notification system presents consolidation uncertainty, and NIMS adoption mandates tied to federal grant eligibility remain unresolved.
The opportunity
FEMA's expanded Public Assistance eligibility and an active HMGP application create immediate funding pathways, while $28,552 in allocated emergency management IT spend supports near-term action. Advancing this initiative now strengthens compliance posture, reduces public-alerting risk, and positions the county for federal recovery and mitigation reimbursement.

Fleet Safety · Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
County vehicle and equipment insurance costs have surged 34.8% over two years, far exceeding the 10% threshold that typically triggers risk management review. No fleet safety technology—such as GPS telematics, dash cameras, or driver monitoring—is currently documented, leaving the Sheriff's Department fleet exposed to significant financial and operational liability.
The opportunity
Rising insurance costs create a measurable, data-backed justification for fleet safety investment within the current budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to simplify procurement and accelerate implementation, reducing time-to-value while supporting responsible stewardship of public funds.

ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The county has an ADA web accessibility policy but no established WCAG conformance, creating legal exposure and service gaps for residents using public-facing digital portals. Without a formal remediation plan or dedicated funding, the compliance risk remains unresolved and could escalate.
The opportunity
Unaddressed WCAG gaps carry ongoing legal and civil rights liability that grows over time; incremental remediation can be staged to align with available budget cycles. Proactively closing these gaps improves equitable public service delivery and reduces the county's exposure to ADA-related complaints or litigation.
