Emergency Operations Plan Development & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan, has unclear mass-notification capabilities, and has no recorded after-action reviews despite a 2025 tornado impact. A high-profile August 2025 incident involving a 20-plus minute response delay has exposed critical preparedness and communications gaps, elevating political and operational risk.
The opportunity
The August 2025 incident has created a 90-day window of political urgency, supported by a $1.4M county appropriation for rural fire protection and a statewide volunteer fire department grant program. Addressing EOP and notification gaps now aligns with state emergency management mandates and positions the department ahead of a 2027 contract renewal cycle for related services.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks documented fleet safety technology, and a 2021 emergency-response vehicle rollover underscores the ongoing risk exposure. Without telematics data, the ability to defend liability claims is limited, leaving the fleet and the public it serves vulnerable to unmonitored safety gaps.
The opportunity
A state-level procurement contract provides an immediate, compliant path to deployment without a standalone bid process. Increases in Highway/Public Works appropriations may offer a viable funding avenue, and the absence of an incumbent solution means implementation can move forward without displacement friction.

About this project
Maury County is advancing a full-time rural fire station in the Hampshire area following a documented 20-minute response delay during an August 2025 tractor fire, exposing critical gaps in rural coverage. Emergency preparedness gaps—including no confirmed EOP or mass-notification status—compound operational and public safety risk for underserved rural residents.
The opportunity
A $1.435M appropriation for rural fire protection is already allocated and the project is in active planning, creating a near-term window to deploy solutions that directly improve response times and service delivery. A statewide $20M volunteer fire department grant program further expands funding pathways, making this an optimal moment to advance operational readiness before the next budget cycle.
