Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan lacks documented review history, its mass-notification system has unconfirmed IPAWS capability, and no public after-action review followed the July 2026 flood declaration. These gaps expose residents and staff to elevated response risk and leave the county out of alignment with TDEM emergency planning standards.
The opportunity
The July 2026 flood declaration activated emergency procurement authority and opened access to federal public assistance, while HSGP and Next Generation Warning System grants carry expected award deadlines of September 30, 2026. Acting within this window allows the county to close critical preparedness gaps, satisfy compliance requirements, and strengthen community resilience with available funding.
Cybersecurity & IT Endpoint Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has active CJIS-aligned password security mandates and an approved cybersecurity training initiative underway, signaling a recognized gap in security posture. With $444,800 allocated in the FY2026 IT budget and IT & Cybersecurity Modernization named as a strategic priority, the pressure to act is both funded and compliance-driven.
The opportunity
The FY2026 IT budget provides a confirmed funding window, and HSGP grant funding with an expected award date of September 2026 offers additional procurement leverage. Acting now aligns modernization efforts with compliance deadlines, reduces operational risk, and maximizes available public funding before the fiscal cycle closes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing website and digital documents lack any remediation plan to meet active WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and inequitable access for residents with disabilities. This unaddressed gap places the county at risk of complaints, audits, and potential civil rights liability.
The opportunity
Grant funding with expected awards in the current cycle may offset remediation costs, and cooperative purchasing agreements can simplify procurement. Acting within the current fiscal year closes a documented compliance gap and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.
Next Generation Warning System
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & GPS Monitoring Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively piloting a GPS monitoring program and has made recent investments in in-car video and vehicle lighting, signaling a deliberate move toward improved fleet oversight. No documented incidents exist yet, but the absence of a fully deployed telematics solution leaves driver behavior, asset utilization, and liability exposure unaddressed.
The opportunity
Active vehicle acquisitions and an allocated Fleet & Transportation budget create immediate momentum to formalize and expand telematics capabilities within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to simplify procurement and accelerate deployment without a lengthy formal bid process.

Discuss this project →After-Action Review & Emergency Planning Formalization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Following a July 2026 flood declaration, the county has no documented after-action review and an EOP with unverified age and last-review date. This gap conflicts with TDEM emergency planning standards and elevates operational and compliance risk ahead of any future incident.
The opportunity
The September 2026 HSGP award deadline creates immediate fiscal urgency to formalize planning processes eligible for federal funding. Acting now closes a documented compliance gap, strengthens community resilience, and positions the county to meet TDEM standards before the next emergency event.
