Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Kerr County's legacy mass notification system has documented performance failures during recent flood events, drawing watchdog scrutiny and media pressure. Active compliance mandates for emergency plan maintenance and public alerting, combined with demonstrated communication gaps, elevate risk to resident safety and operational continuity.
The opportunity
New emergency management leadership, dedicated FY2026-27 budget allocations, and available FEMA grant funding create an immediate window for system re-evaluation and modernization. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure, strengthens flood-response readiness, and ensures reliable public communication when it matters most.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively deploying a flood warning system and pursuing post-flood capital recovery work—including bridge stabilization, storm-drainage improvements, and resilience infrastructure—following documented communication failures during flood events. Active mandates to maintain emergency coordination plans, combined with media scrutiny and new emergency management leadership, elevate both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2026-27 budget includes $849k for flood recovery and $630k in FEMA grants, creating an immediate and well-funded procurement window. Acting now aligns with budget cycles, supports compliance, and strengthens the county's capacity to protect residents before the next severe weather event.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Governance & Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces active compliance mandates for password and credential governance with an annual training deadline, while a cybersecurity governance committee and three-year IT modernization program are underway. Gaps in MFA and patch management create measurable risk to county systems, staff, and the residents they serve.
The opportunity
A dedicated cyber grant is budgeted for FY2026-27, and the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant provides an additional funding path for IT and cybersecurity investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with a $412k IT budget increase and capital outlay already approved for modernization.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified non-compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access to digital services. A formal compliance mandate with a 2027 deadline establishes a defined, time-bound remediation requirement that carries consequences for inaction.
The opportunity
The 2027 deadline creates a clear procurement and implementation window, and the county's growing IT budget supports the capacity to fund remediation now. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and aligns with broader modernization priorities already underway.

Discuss this project →Sheriff's Fleet Safety & Vehicle Cost Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office faces a proposed 46% increase in vehicle insurance costs, compounded by high utilization and maintenance expenses, while existing dash cameras provide only a partial safety solution. Active capital renewal initiatives for both Sheriff's Office vehicles and Road & Bridge heavy equipment signal growing operational and financial risk requiring a comprehensive fleet management approach.
The opportunity
Dedicated budget allocations for fleet capital renewal in the current fiscal cycle create a timely funding pathway, and cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use by the county can streamline procurement. Addressing fleet safety and telematics now directly reduces insurance exposure, lowers maintenance costs, and strengthens accountability for public assets.
