911 Emergency Dispatch System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An active RFP cycle is underway to modernize the county's 911 Emergency Dispatch infrastructure, with a Notice of Award expected in April 2026. Capital budget allocations are confirmed for Central Dispatch and E911 operations, and identified gaps in emergency preparedness—including the absence of a current EOP and no documented exercise cycle—elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The April 2026 award timeline creates an immediate procurement window, with confirmed capital funding and cooperative purchasing vehicles available to streamline acquisition. Grant programs aligned with emergency management modernization carry mid-2026 deadlines, making this fiscal cycle the critical moment to advance dispatch infrastructure and close preparedness gaps.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has no established EOP review cycle, and holds no documented record of HSEEP-compliant exercises. Recent flood emergencies have exposed these gaps, creating measurable operational risk and compliance exposure under NIMS requirements.
The opportunity
Grant programs aligned with emergency preparedness—including HSGP and BRIC—carry deadlines in July 2026, creating a near-term funding window with a clear path to address compliance mandates. A newly appointed Emergency Management Director and active capital investment in public safety infrastructure signal strong organizational readiness to act this fiscal cycle.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county currently operates multiple mass-notification platforms simultaneously, creating redundancy, elevated costs, and administrative complexity that strain emergency management operations. Compliance mandates tied to NIMS implementation and emergency notification capabilities—alongside identified gaps in EOP documentation and exercise tracking—heighten operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Grant funding through HSGP and BRIC programs, with deadlines in the upcoming grant cycle, provides a clear path to offset consolidation costs with limited local match required. An active RFP cycle and new Emergency Management leadership create a favorable window to reduce overhead, close preparedness gaps, and strengthen countywide emergency response.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Compliance mandates for a formal Hazard Mitigation Plan remain unmet, and recent flood emergencies have exposed critical preparedness gaps. Without an approved plan, the county risks losing eligibility for federal grant funding and faces growing operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Grant programs with July 2026 deadlines provide a direct funding path for hazard mitigation planning activities, reducing local cost burden. Acting within the current grant window ensures compliance, restores federal funding eligibility, and strengthens community resilience before the next emergency.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing websites have identified ADA compliance gaps that limit equitable access to digital services for residents with disabilities. Unresolved gaps create legal exposure and risk exclusion of vulnerable populations from essential government information and services.
The opportunity
ADA remediation can be bundled into broader digital modernization efforts already under consideration, maximizing existing budget cycles and reducing long-term legal liability. Addressing compliance now supports equitable service delivery and aligns with current fiscal-year planning priorities.
