Securing 9-1-1 Systems with Password & Privileged-Access Controls
Cybersecurity · Emergency Communications
High Priority
About this project
Critical 9-1-1 infrastructure currently operates without password management or privileged-access controls, creating direct security and compliance exposure for emergency communications systems. This gap elevates risk to public safety operations and leaves the district vulnerable to unauthorized access and audit findings.
The opportunity
The Tennessee Emergency Communications Board Cybersecurity Grant Program offers a defined funding path, and the recently approved FY 2026-27 budget creates a near-term procurement window. Acting now closes a documented compliance gap while leveraging available state reimbursement to minimize local cost burden.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is undocumented with an unknown review date, and no central emergency management system is in place—gaps made visible by a recent winter storm event. The absence of a formalized EOP framework elevates operational and public safety risk for residents and first responders alike.
The opportunity
A $420,000 CDBG award designated for Emergency Services Improvements, combined with a recently approved FY 2026–27 budget and over $2M in cumulative grant funding, creates a well-timed funding pathway. Formalizing the EOP now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and positions the county to steward public safety resources effectively.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hardeman County currently lacks a confirmed countywide mass notification platform, and the contract status of its existing alerting system is unknown. This gap leaves residents and staff without a reliable, centralized emergency communication capability — a risk made tangible by a recent winter storm event.
The opportunity
With the FY 2026–27 budget approved, over $2M in grant funding secured since 2022 for 911 services, and a $420,000 CDBG Emergency Services Improvements award in place, funding pathways are available to act now. Establishing a centralized alerting platform strengthens public safety outcomes and closes a critical operational gap before the next emergency.
