Emergency Operations Plan Development & Exercise Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and HSEEP-compliant exercises, creating significant compliance and operational readiness gaps. With assailant training scheduled and new leadership onboarding, the urgency to formalize planning and exercise programs is mounting.
The opportunity
Grant funding through HSGP and BRIC programs with deadlines in July 2026 directly supports emergency management planning and communications modernization, with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns with new leadership priorities and reduces compliance exposure before mandated deadlines.
Local Mass Notification & Alerting Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently depends on county-level alerting infrastructure, creating a gap in locally controlled incident communications. This dependency elevates operational risk during independent emergencies and represents a critical consolidation and integration opportunity.
The opportunity
Grant funding through HSGP and BRIC—with deadlines in July 2026—directly supports communications modernization, creating a near-term funding window. Acting now reduces county dependency, improves response times, and aligns with active EOP coordination and public safety priorities in the current fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A federal mandate requires WCAG 2.1 compliance for public-facing digital portals by April 2028, creating a defined remediation deadline for web accessibility. Without a phased plan in place, agencies risk non-compliance, inequitable public access, and compressed timelines that increase cost and operational burden.
The opportunity
The April 2028 deadline provides a structured planning horizon, making now the right time to assess gaps and align remediation efforts with upcoming fiscal cycles. Early action enables phased investment, reduces last-minute costs, and ensures equitable digital access for all residents ahead of the mandate.
Fire Station Capital Infrastructure Investment
Public Safety Infrastructure · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
An approved grant and up to $1M in council-authorized capital are designated for public safety infrastructure, anchored by a new fire station. Identified gaps in local emergency operations planning, exercises, and mass-notification readiness elevate compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Active capital availability and near-term grant deadlines create a favorable window to address emergency preparedness gaps alongside facility investment. Acting now aligns with compliance mandates, strengthens community resilience, and maximizes the impact of already-authorized public safety funding.
