Unify Emergency Management & Mass Notification Capabilities
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
McMullen County recently requested a disaster declaration following an imminent flood threat, exposing critical gaps in emergency planning, resource pre-positioning, and staffing capacity. Fragmented mass notification systems and paper-based records create compliance and operational risk for a county served by a single emergency manager.
The opportunity
The flood-related disaster declaration strengthens eligibility for EMPG and HSGP grant funding, and the upcoming 2027 budget cycle presents a clear decision window. Consolidating emergency management capabilities now reduces operational risk, supports compliance, and improves coordinated response for county residents.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification infrastructure combines a third-party service with outdoor sirens, creating fragmentation that limits reliability and reach during emergencies. A recent flood-related disaster declaration underscores the operational risk this gap poses to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The 2027 budget planning cycle and active federal grant windows — including EMPG and HSGP — create a timely funding pathway for consolidation. Acting now reduces emergency response risk, supports compliance with state emergency management mandates, and positions the county for a more resilient, unified alerting capability.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Visibility Initiative
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates an active fleet — including UTVs, a dump trailer, and a county-wide fuel card program — with no formal safety monitoring or telematics infrastructure in place. This gap limits visibility into fleet risk, leaving the county without data to manage liability, driver safety, or operational accountability.
The opportunity
Active fleet investment and the upcoming 2027 budget planning cycle create a timely window to address safety blind spots before they become liability or audit concerns. Texas DIR cooperative contracts are available to streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden on county staff.
