Emergency Alert System Replacement After Cyber Disruption
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A cyber attack took the county's previous emergency alert system offline, creating a critical public alerting gap and triggering an urgent replacement. State compliance mandates — including a new countywide alert system requirement and PIO certification — are actively driving this initiative forward.
The opportunity
Replacement is already underway, with FY26–27 IT budget increases and grants through VFD Assistance and EMS technology programs providing clear funding alignment. Acting within the current budget cycle ensures continuity of public alerting, satisfies compliance mandates, and reduces community risk.

About this project
An aging military brush truck has been flagged as questionable and in need of replacement, with limited visibility into fleet risk controls elevating safety concerns. Active vehicle lease and fleet replacement initiatives signal near-term procurement, but deferred action increases operational and liability risk for emergency response personnel.
The opportunity
Awarded and upcoming grants targeting rural ambulance services and wildfire mitigation provide direct, near-term funding pathways for fleet acquisition. Aligning procurement with the current grant window and FY budget planning cycle reduces out-of-pocket costs and strengthens frontline response readiness.

About this project
The county is advancing IT modernization through an active FY26-27 contract cycle, including expanded software tooling and endpoint management. A prior cyber attack that disabled the county's emergency alert system underscores unresolved cybersecurity and endpoint vulnerabilities that pose ongoing operational risk.
The opportunity
A proposed 9.32% property tax revenue increase and active FY26-27 IT budget planning create a defined window to address endpoint security gaps. Acting within this procurement cycle aligns with fiscal expansion, reduces exposure to future incidents, and supports continuity of critical public services.
