Emergency Operations Plan Review & Exercise Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces documented emergency preparedness gaps—including an EOP overdue for review, undocumented post-tornado exercises, and unclear mass notification governance—elevating operational and compliance risk. Alignment with NIMS/HSEEP standards is required, and recent declared emergencies underscore the urgency of a formalized preparedness framework.
The opportunity
Active FEMA grant programs with July 2026 deadlines create a firm, 90-day funding window for emergency communications, alerting, and mitigation initiatives. Acting now secures available federal dollars, advances compliance, and strengthens community resilience before the window closes.
Mass Notification Governance & Emergency Readiness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Current mass notification coverage lacks clear departmental governance, creating operational risk during declared emergencies. Without a well-structured, agency-controlled alerting system, compliance with NIMS/HSEEP mandates and timely public communication during critical incidents remain at risk.
The opportunity
Active FEMA grant opportunities—including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG—with deadlines in July 2026 directly fund emergency communications and alerting improvements. Acting within the current grant window maximizes funding leverage, reduces local match burden, and strengthens community safety outcomes ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Ongoing WCAG 2.1 AA compliance gaps across the department's digital presence create legal exposure under the ADA and limit equitable public access to government services. Leadership has prioritized this initiative, signaling active procurement attention and near-term action.
The opportunity
With this initiative already in motion and leadership engaged, the upcoming fiscal cycle is an ideal window to remediate compliance gaps and reduce legal risk. Addressing accessibility now supports equitable service delivery and aligns with strong regulatory mandates requiring timely corrective action.
Cybersecurity Controls Implementation
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Identified gaps in MFA, encryption, mobile device management, and password management leave the organization exposed to security risk and out of alignment with current cybersecurity mandates. Without these controls in place, sensitive government data and operational systems remain vulnerable to breach and audit findings.
The opportunity
An active procurement cycle and substantial annual IT spend signal near-term budget capacity to close these compliance gaps within the current fiscal window. Addressing these controls now reduces organizational risk, supports mandate alignment, and may be structured through cooperative purchasing vehicles to streamline acquisition.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The department operates in a high-risk environment with frequent serious vehicle crash responses, elevating liability exposure and operational risk. Without dash cameras or telematics, the agency lacks incident documentation tools needed to support investigations, manage insurance costs, and protect staff and the public.
The opportunity
FY2026–27 budget allocations signal clear receptivity to fleet and public safety technology investment, creating a timely funding pathway. Acting within this budget cycle enables the agency to reduce liability risk, strengthen incident response capabilities, and demonstrate responsible stewardship of public resources.
