Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Hallsville Fire Department lacks a department-specific Emergency Operations Plan, has no documented HSEEP exercises, and has an unresolved city-level mass notification subscription. Active mandates under Texas Government Code §418.106, §418.101, and NIMS create measurable compliance and operational risk for the community.
The opportunity
Multiple aligned grant programs—including HSGP, EMPG, and AFG—are active matches for emergency preparedness initiatives, and a TCEQ LEPC Grant application signals immediate budget pursuit. Addressing these gaps now positions the department ahead of an upcoming leadership transition and the current grant cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Alerting
High Priority
About this project
The county's city-level subscription to the regional mass notification system is unconfirmed, creating a critical gap in public alerting and emergency communication. This gap conflicts with active compliance mandates under Texas Government Code §418.106 and §418.101, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Grant funding through HSGP and the Next Generation Warning System program may offset costs, and a regional cooperative contract provides a streamlined procurement path. Resolving this gap now aligns with current compliance mandates, supports emergency preparedness outcomes, and positions the county ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Harrison County faces active WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance mandates requiring accessible public-facing digital services. Budget has been approved and procurement is underway, making timely implementation critical to meeting legal obligations and ensuring equitable access for all residents.
The opportunity
With funding already approved and active procurement in motion, the window to act within the current fiscal cycle is now. An incoming IT leadership transition in late 2026 creates additional momentum to expand digital services improvements and lock in compliance outcomes before priorities shift.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Harrison County has active cybersecurity training and tool implementation underway, with recent budget approvals signaling new IT priorities. The deactivation of an incumbent system and ongoing IT budget workshops indicate a critical window to address security gaps before new leadership finalizes direction.
The opportunity
An incoming IT Director and active procurement cycles create a near-term window to align cybersecurity investments with the county's evolving priorities. With an established IT and software budget and co-op procurement pathways available, this project is well-positioned for action in the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet-Wide Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring Rollout
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a varied fleet that includes older apparatus, with no fleet-wide telematics or safety monitoring currently in place. This gap creates measurable operational risk and limits visibility into vehicle performance, driver behavior, and incident response readiness.
The opportunity
The RVFDAP grant offers a conditional funding pathway for fleet vehicle safety technology, and cooperative purchasing agreements can simplify and accelerate procurement. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces upfront costs while closing a documented safety and operational visibility gap.
