Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Mass-Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue, mass-notification systems failed during the deadly July 2025 floods, and full-scale evacuation exercises have not been conducted. These gaps created documented, life-safety communication breakdowns and expose the district to significant compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Active FY 2025–2026 IT budget growth and alignment with HSGP, EMPG, and NGWS grant programs provide dedicated funding pathways to address these critical gaps now. Immediate action reduces life-safety liability, restores public trust, and positions the district to meet EOP compliance and exercise documentation requirements.
Mass Notification Consolidation for Flood-Season Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's split notification ecosystem failed during the July 2025 flood events, with communication gaps publicly documented and an Emergency Operations Plan that remains overdue for review. Continued reliance on underperforming legacy alerting tools elevates life-safety, reputational, and compliance risk heading into ongoing flood season.
The opportunity
Active procurement momentum, aligned emergency management grant funding (including HSGP and EMPG-eligible programs), and a rising FY 2025–2026 IT budget create a narrow window to consolidate and modernize alerting capabilities. Acting now reduces operational risk, strengthens EOP compliance, and ensures residents receive timely, reliable notifications during life-safety events.
Flood Warning System & Early Alert Infrastructure Completion
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Kerr County is actively deploying a flood warning system and new sirens, but identified funding gaps leave early-alert coverage incomplete. Mass-notification failures during recent flood events and an overdue Emergency Operations Plan elevate life-safety and compliance risk for residents and responders.
The opportunity
FY 2025–2026 budget allocations and existing grant backing are already in motion, with additional state and federal funding programs eligible to close remaining gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle strengthens warning coverage, supports EOP compliance, and reduces community exposure to recurring flood hazards.
Modernizing Endpoint Security and IT Managed Services
IT Modernization · Endpoint Security
High Priority
About this project
The district has formally approved IT managed services and patch management, signaling a strategic effort to close endpoint security and operational IT gaps. The FY 2025–2026 IT budget increase, including capital outlay, reflects an active commitment to infrastructure modernization with near-term implementation timelines.
The opportunity
Procurement approval is already in place and the expanded IT budget signals immediate spending capacity, making this an ideal window to consolidate or complement approved initiatives. Aligning solutions now supports operational continuity, reduces security risk, and maximizes stewardship of allocated public funds.
Strengthen Credential Security Through MFA and Identity Management
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district is executing a county-wide MFA rollout and Cyber Policy Review to reduce credential-based risk across systems. While a cyber grant has been awarded at the parent-entity level, cybersecurity mandates are not yet entity-specific, creating a compliance and access-control gap that warrants structured action.
The opportunity
An awarded cyber grant and a significant FY 2025–2026 IT budget increase create a funded, timely entry point for formalizing identity and credential management. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with active initiatives and reduces exposure before policy review conclusions drive procurement decisions.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a mandated deadline to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across public-facing digital properties, with identified gaps that remain unremediated. Failure to act risks legal exposure, inequitable public access, and non-compliance with federal accessibility requirements.
The opportunity
A defined compliance deadline creates a clear procurement window, making phased implementation both feasible and fiscally responsible within the current budget cycle. Addressing accessibility gaps now ensures equitable digital access for all residents and reduces the district's regulatory and reputational risk.
