Emergency Operations Plan Review & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent flooding-related State of Emergency has exposed critical gaps in emergency preparedness, including the absence of publicly available EOP review dates and exercise records. NIMS adoption requirements and mandatory EOP review cycles create urgent compliance pressure that elevates risk to residents and operational continuity.
The opportunity
Multiple federal grant programs directly aligned with emergency preparedness provide viable funding pathways, and a declared State of Emergency may unlock additional emergency spending capacity. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses compliance mandates, closes preparedness gaps, and strengthens community resilience before the next severe weather event.
Mass Notification System Modernization for Emergency Alerting
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent State of Emergency declaration following widespread flooding has exposed critical gaps in public alerting and infrastructure monitoring capabilities. Compliance mandates including NIMS adoption and EOP review cycles remain unmet, elevating operational and public safety risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Active emergency preparedness funding streams—including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG—align directly with this project and may significantly offset local costs. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can accelerate procurement, and the current emergency climate makes this an urgent, fundable priority within the near-term fiscal cycle.
Strengthen Endpoint and Cybersecurity Policy Coverage
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recognized cybersecurity policy gap exists within the department, with current coverage limited to password management and leaving broader endpoint and data protection needs unaddressed. The active Data Center Policy initiative signals leadership awareness of risk, but partial coverage elevates exposure to breach, audit findings, and compliance liability.
The opportunity
With annual IT and software spend exceeding $1 million and an upcoming fiscal planning cycle, budget capacity exists to close critical cybersecurity gaps now. Addressing endpoint and policy coverage holistically reduces operational risk, supports data governance compliance, and strengthens the department's overall security posture.

Public Safety · First Responder Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department has an active, funded initiative to procure thermal imaging cameras, reflecting a direct investment in first responder operational readiness. Gaps in thermal detection capability elevate risk to firefighter safety and effective incident response outcomes.
The opportunity
Approved local millages and an established cooperative purchasing agreement support near-term procurement with reduced administrative burden. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures equipment is in place ahead of high-demand emergency response seasons.
