Emergency Communications Consolidation & Interoperability
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The consolidation of Soddy-Daisy emergency communications with Hamilton County 9-1-1 is creating urgent needs around interoperability, unified technology platforms, and coordinated operations. Gaps in mass-notification integration, EOP documentation, and after-action follow-through elevate operational and compliance risk during this transition.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes full approval of HCECD's $2.9M+ funding request, providing a clear financial foundation to act now. The active consolidation event creates a time-sensitive technology decision window where coordinated investment directly strengthens public safety outcomes and operational continuity.

High Priority
About this project
Hamilton County 9-1-1 Emergency Communications District has identified NG9-1-1 modernization as a strategic priority, signaling a necessary shift away from legacy PSAP infrastructure. Ongoing consolidation of Soddy-Daisy emergency communications creates an active technology decision window, with interoperability and national standards alignment at stake.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget is adopted with over $2.9M in approved emergency communications funding, making this an active and funded initiative rather than a future aspiration. Acting within this cycle ensures modernization aligns with consolidation timelines, reduces operational risk, and positions the district to meet evolving national NG9-1-1 standards.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan has an unverified review status, and after-action findings from recent severe weather events remain unaddressed, meaning the current plan may not reflect operational realities. With an active consolidation of emergency communications underway, an outdated or misaligned EOP elevates both compliance and continuity risk.
The opportunity
The ongoing consolidation of emergency communications operations creates a defined decision window to establish a unified, verified EOP before the transition is complete. The district's approved FY2027 public safety budget and dedicated emergency communications funding provide a viable pathway to act within the current fiscal cycle.
Mass Notification Consolidation with CAD/Dispatch Integration
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a standalone mass notification platform disconnected from its CAD/dispatch system, creating operational silos that slow incident response. Documented preparedness gaps—including unverified notification coverage and unresolved after-action findings—elevate risk during active service consolidation.
The opportunity
The ongoing consolidation of emergency communications services creates a time-sensitive window to rationalize technology and close preparedness gaps. With FY2027 public safety funding approved and over $2.9M in district budget allocated, the conditions for advancing this initiative are in place now.
IT Infrastructure Modernization for Emergency Communications
IT Modernization · Emergency Communications
High Priority
About this project
An active IT environment with network monitoring and endpoint management tools in place faces consolidation pressure following a recent emergency communications merger. Unverified EOP status, undocumented mass-notification readiness, and unresolved after-action findings from severe weather events elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes fully approved public safety and emergency communications funding, creating a near-term window to address infrastructure gaps and consolidate fragmented systems. Acting within this cycle reduces integration risk, strengthens interoperability, and aligns technology investment with approved appropriations.
Modernizing Credential Security for Public Safety Operations
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on a legacy password management platform that may no longer meet current security standards, creating credential exposure risk across critical public safety systems. As operations expand through consolidation, unmanaged credential sprawl elevates the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive communications infrastructure.
The opportunity
An existing budget commitment to credential security tooling signals readiness to evaluate more capable solutions within the current fiscal cycle. Upgrading now reduces operational risk during an active technology transition and supports continuity of public safety communications.
