Fleet Telematics & Litigation Risk Mitigation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An active, high-exposure vehicle-related lawsuit—with over $1.2M in reported medical expenses—has exposed a critical gap in telematics and dash-cam evidence capture across the state fleet. Combined with statewide ZEV compliance targets and an active telematics pilot initiative, the absence of fleet visibility tools presents escalating litigation, operational, and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
JAG grant deadlines in July 2026 offer a near-term funding pathway, and significant capital budget increases signal available capacity to act within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative procurement vehicles are already in place, enabling faster implementation and reducing administrative burden on agency staff.
Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency lacks a documented enterprise-level Emergency Operations Plan and operates a fragmented mass-notification system with no confirmed enterprise-wide coverage. Gaps in HSEEP-style exercises and NIMS compliance create direct risk of losing federal funding eligibility, compounded by recent statewide disaster declarations.
The opportunity
FEMA EMPG guidance requires EOP-related deliverables by July 2026, establishing a firm planning and procurement deadline. HSGP grant funding offers a direct path to address preparedness gaps with limited local match, and an active statewide mass-notification contract window supports near-term action aligned with the current fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Modernization
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces ongoing digital accessibility remediation gaps against the WCAG 2.1 AA standard, with a firm ADA compliance deadline of April 2027. Active planning for public-facing digital service improvements—including meeting livestreaming and broader DNR service modernization—underscores the urgency of closing these gaps before the mandate takes effect.
The opportunity
The April 2027 WCAG/ADA deadline establishes a non-negotiable procurement and implementation timeline, making action in the current fiscal cycle essential. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place streamline procurement, and recent capital budget increases indicate available financial capacity to fund compliant, accessible digital services for the public.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A 2026 statewide cybersecurity compliance deadline creates near-term pressure, while no centralized credential management solution is currently in place. With Microsoft 365/Azure already in use, security tooling gaps represent measurable operational and compliance risk for the agency.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding with a July 2026 deadline offers a viable path to offset modernization costs, and cooperative procurement agreements support efficient, compliant acquisition. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the agency to meet the 2026 mandate and reduce exposure before the deadline.
Hazard Mitigation and Resilience Planning
Emergency Management · Resilience Planning
High Priority
About this project
The agency has an active strategic initiative addressing hazard mitigation, emergency alerting, and resilience planning, reinforced by recent statewide disaster declarations. Gaps in enterprise-wide emergency alerting and long-term resilience posture elevate operational and compliance risk, particularly under NIMS requirements tied to federal funding eligibility.
The opportunity
HSGP grant funding with a July 2026 deadline is explicitly aligned with emergency management and resilience initiatives, offering a direct path to federal support. Leadership transitions on the Natural Resources Commission create a timely opening to advance resilience strategies, and cooperative purchasing agreements support efficient, compliant contract execution.
