Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is undocumented, no HSEEP exercises are on record, and active mandates require NIMS adoption and BEOP maintenance. These gaps expose the county to regulatory and operational risk during emergency events, threatening continuity and community safety.
The opportunity
The county's annual budget cycle requires timely engagement ahead of the next planning process, and a statewide Volunteer Firefighter Equipment and Training Grant signals available public safety funding. Addressing preparedness gaps now reduces compliance risk and strengthens emergency response outcomes for residents and first responders.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county currently operates a fragmented emergency notification system, running a third-party mass notification platform alongside legacy voice pagers, reducing alerting reliability and creating redundant costs. Compliance mandates for NIMS adoption and BEOP maintenance, combined with undocumented EOP review status and no identified HSEEP exercises, elevate operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
An active budget and existing contract for mass notification confirm readiness to invest, making consolidation a timely, fiscally responsible next step. The county's consideration for a statewide public safety grant provides a potential funding pathway, and aligning this project with the annual budget cycle positions it for near-term action.
Volunteer Firefighter Equipment and Training Grant
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Apparatus Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
With 52 apparatus and 190 volunteer drivers operating without telematics, fleet maintenance costs have surged 40.7% and motor vehicle spending 83%, signaling escalating operational and financial risk. An OSHA citation further highlights safety oversight gaps that demand immediate attention across the volunteer fleet.
The opportunity
Active fleet modernization efforts and an increase in Highway/Public Works budget allocation create a timely funding pathway for telematics investment. Addressing this now reduces liability exposure, improves asset stewardship, and positions the department ahead of the annual budget cycle.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a hard May 2026 deadline for an ADA-compliant hazard mitigation plan and a broader WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate under ADA Title II by 2028. Current website platform gaps create legal exposure and restrict public access to critical safety information.
The opportunity
The May 2026 compliance deadline and annual budget cycle require technology requests to be positioned now to secure funding in the next budget process. Addressing accessibility gaps reduces legal risk and ensures equitable public access to essential county services and safety resources.
