Modernize Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Lewis County 9-1-1 faces a critically outdated Emergency Operations Plan, documented mass-notification reliability failures, and heightened disaster exposure following Winter Storm Fern. Pending NIMS adoption requirements and EOP maintenance mandates create compounding compliance risk for the county and its partner agencies.
The opportunity
An active EMA Director vacancy and upcoming intergovernmental MOUs for Dispatch and EOC operations create a near-term window to advance modernization priorities. A favorable public safety funding environment supports investment now, and aligning action with the current fiscal cycle reduces operational and compliance exposure for residents and first responders.
911 Dispatch & EOC Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's top strategic priority is modernizing and integrating 911 dispatch and EOC operations across intergovernmental partners, with recent severe weather events exposing critical gaps in coordination and mass-notification reliability. An Emergency Operations Plan is still in development, NIMS compliance is incomplete, and fragmented systems elevate operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Upcoming intergovernmental MOUs and an anticipated EMA Director transition create a defined window to align technology, governance, and coordination priorities. A favorable public safety funding environment supports investment now, and acting within the current planning cycle reduces compliance exposure while strengthening community resilience.
Strengthen 9-1-1 Cybersecurity and Password Compliance
Cybersecurity Compliance · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The 9-1-1 center has identified password management deficiencies and incomplete cybersecurity compliance, creating regulatory and operational risk for a critical public safety entity. These gaps expose sensitive dispatch and emergency data to potential breach, elevating liability for the agency and the communities it serves.
The opportunity
A favorable public safety funding environment and active compliance awareness create a timely opening to close these gaps before they escalate into audit findings or incidents. Addressing cybersecurity deficiencies now reduces liability exposure and strengthens the operational integrity of a mission-critical 9-1-1 center.
