Emergency Operations Plan Development for Volunteer Fire Departments
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has no documented, department-specific Emergency Operations Plan, creating direct compliance risk under NIMS adoption requirements tied to federal grant eligibility and county EOP mandates. A history of major disaster declarations — including tornadoes and an ice storm with active FEMA assessments — underscores the operational urgency of this gap.
The opportunity
The department is a confirmed recipient of a statewide volunteer firefighter grant program, and access to a county purchasing cooperative offers a streamlined procurement path. Addressing the EOP gap now protects federal funding eligibility, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens community response readiness ahead of the next disaster event.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently has no mass notification system, creating a critical gap in alerting staff and residents during emergencies. Combined with a history of major disaster declarations and ongoing FEMA assessments following a recent ice storm, this absence poses serious operational and public safety risks requiring immediate attention.
The opportunity
Active participation in a statewide volunteer firefighter grant program and access to a county purchasing cooperative provide viable, near-term funding and procurement pathways. Addressing this gap now supports NIMS compliance, county EOP requirements, and strengthens community-level emergency response before the next declared disaster event.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An inoperable fire truck represents an active gap in emergency response capacity, increasing risk to community safety and operational continuity. A newly appointed Ambulance Committee Director may further shape fleet and service delivery priorities in the near term.
The opportunity
A $40,000 state grant is actively allocated for firefighting equipment, and cooperative purchasing access offers a streamlined procurement path. Addressing fleet readiness now aligns with available funding, supports response capability, and reduces operational risk ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
