Emergency Management Plan Modernization and Flood Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Management Plan is outdated and unverified, with limited rescue capabilities exposed during a recent flood event. Active flood and wildfire declarations underscore the urgency, while NIMS adoption requirements create a direct compliance dependency tied to grant eligibility.
The opportunity
The SB3 Grant's Flood Early Warning Systems planning window and active FY2027 budget discussions create a near-term funding opportunity. Addressing plan gaps now reduces FEMA reimbursement risk, strengthens compliance posture, and improves life-safety outcomes for the communities served.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system operates outside core emergency workflows, limiting timely outreach to staff and residents during flood and wildfire events. This gap, combined with an unverified emergency management plan and active FEWS planning obligations under SB3, creates measurable compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Active FEWS planning, NIMS compliance mandates, and FY2027 budget preparation create a narrow window to address notification gaps with available public safety funding. Rural fire department grant programs and federal community facilities funding offer viable, low-local-match pathways to advance this project now.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Active planning is underway for a Flood Early Warning System driven by the SB3 Grant mandate, following recent severe flooding declarations that exposed critical gaps in early warning infrastructure. Limited rescue capabilities and an unintegrated mass notification system elevate risk to residents and emergency responders.
The opportunity
The SB3 Grant is actively funding FEWS planning efforts, and FY2027 budget development is ongoing, creating a confirmed and time-sensitive window for procurement. FEMA-aligned funding further supports near-term action, and advancing this project now directly reduces life-safety risk and strengthens NIMS compliance.
SB3 Grant
Discuss this project →Law Enforcement Records Management System Replacement
Public Safety Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office is actively replacing its legacy records management system, with over $148k in approved funding committed to the transition. Outdated infrastructure creates operational risk, data integrity concerns, and potential gaps in compliance with law enforcement reporting and documentation standards.
The opportunity
With budget already approved and procurement underway, this project is positioned for immediate execution within the current fiscal cycle. Modernizing records management strengthens officer efficiency, supports audit readiness, and ensures continuity of public safety operations.
Strengthen County Network Security Infrastructure
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active network security contract and regional security operations center relationship are in place, but endpoint management and credential security gaps remain inadequately defined for all county departments. Without clearer mandates and controls, the county faces elevated exposure to breaches and compliance risk across public safety systems.
The opportunity
Active IT spending, FY2027 budget planning, and demonstrated willingness to modernize public safety software signal strong alignment for expanded cybersecurity investment now. Eligible state and federal funding pathways exist to offset costs, making this an opportune moment to close security gaps and protect critical county operations.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Lohn VFD has a documented gap in website accessibility compliance with WCAG and ADA standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to public access for residents with disabilities. Without an active remediation initiative, the organization remains at risk of complaints, enforcement actions, and inequitable service delivery.
The opportunity
ADA and WCAG compliance obligations are ongoing and not contingent on a grant cycle, making this a low-barrier, high-priority project alignable with current FY planning. Addressing the gap now reduces legal risk, broadens public access, and positions the organization ahead of increasing federal digital accessibility enforcement activity.
