Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A publicly reported IPAWS alert failure during recent wildfires exposed critical gaps in mass notification, while the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan remains unconfirmed and undated. Pending grant eligibility may hinge on EOP status, and a mandated annual plan review is overdue, compounding compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Approved budget allocations for flood-warning systems, active preparedness initiatives, and a greenfield platform environment create strong conditions for investment within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now protects residents, satisfies compliance mandates, and positions the jurisdiction to secure emergency management grant funding.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Hays County faces an active, overdue cybersecurity training and reporting mandate under Texas Government Code §2054.5191, alongside broad password-security control gaps. The City of Wimberley has a 12-month target to remediate critical vulnerabilities, elevating regulatory and operational risk across both entities.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG grant provides a direct funding path for eligible cybersecurity controls, reducing local budget burden. A new IT Director's stated priorities and the current vulnerability remediation timeline make this an immediate, well-aligned opportunity within the upcoming fiscal cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Hays County's new IT Director has prioritized technology modernization and cybersecurity, while an overdue compliance requirement under Texas Government Code §2054.5191 elevates risk. Combined annual IT spend of $93,000 signals investment capacity, but endpoint and systems management gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG grant explicitly covers technology upgrades and endpoint/systems management, offering a direct funding path. Acting within the current grant cycle and FY planning window allows Hays County to close compliance gaps and advance IT modernization under new leadership momentum.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The deadline for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance has passed, leaving public-facing digital portals out of conformance and exposing the county and city to legal liability and accessibility barriers for residents. The gap is documented and overdue, creating measurable risk to equitable public service delivery.
The opportunity
The passed compliance deadline creates immediate legal exposure, making near-term remediation a priority with a clearly defined scope. Established cooperative purchasing agreements are already in place, reducing procurement lead time and supporting efficient use of public funds within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Pilot
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hays County has approved fleet investment activity, including a new patrol vehicle for Constable Precinct 3, while gaps remain in dash-camera and telematics capabilities. Without these tools, the county faces increased exposure on liability claims, limited driver coaching, and incomplete maintenance documentation.
The opportunity
Approved vehicle spending creates a natural entry point for a low-friction pilot, and established cooperative purchasing memberships can streamline procurement well within formal bid thresholds. A phased pilot approach allows the county to demonstrate operational value and build a defensible case for broader fleet investment in an upcoming budget cycle.
