Emergency Operations Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is 15 years old and critically overdue, creating significant compliance exposure under NIMS requirements. This publicly reported gap—compounded by a recent mass notification failure during an active tornado warning—represents an immediate operational and regulatory risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
Compliance deadlines, leadership awareness, and explicit capital budget approval create strong conditions for near-term action. The Homeland Security Grant Program provides a confirmed funding path for preparedness initiatives, aligning this project with the current grant cycle and fiscal planning priorities.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Monroe County's current mass notification system experienced a publicly reported failure during an active tornado warning, eroding community trust and exposing the county to serious public safety and compliance risk. Reliability gaps in the existing alerting infrastructure, compounded by overdue NIMS and EOP requirements, demand immediate remediation.
The opportunity
Capital funds have been explicitly approved for a new mass alerting system, and Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding provides additional support with limited local match required. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle reduces procurement risk, restores public confidence, and strengthens compliance and emergency response readiness.

Discuss this project →CAD/911 Workstation Replacement for Dispatch Continuity
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Aging CAD and 911 workstations pose direct risks to emergency dispatch reliability and operational continuity. Capital funding has been secured for replacement, making this an active procurement with urgency tied to maintaining uninterrupted public safety communications.
The opportunity
With capital approval already in place and a cooperative purchasing vehicle confirmed, procurement can move efficiently within the current budget cycle. Timely replacement reduces dispatch downtime risk and supports broader NG911 modernization and NIMS compliance goals.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Division is overhauling its standard operating procedures with a safety focus, yet lacks documented dash camera or telematics capabilities, leaving driver behavior and incident response unmonitored. This gap elevates operational and liability risk across the public safety fleet during a critical period of policy reform.
The opportunity
The active SOP overhaul creates a timely window to embed telematics into safety policy before new procedures are finalized, maximizing impact with minimal disruption. Existing county-level fleet technology adoption signals institutional readiness, and the project may align with state public safety grant funding in the current budget cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The organization has identified WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps across public-facing web properties, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable resident access to digital services. Audit findings and active compliance deadlines elevate both operational and regulatory risk if gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
Active WCAG 2.1 compliance deadlines create urgency for a staged remediation approach prioritized by severity, reducing legal liability and broadening equitable service access. This effort aligns with current fiscal planning cycles and may be eligible for state or federal digital equity funding.
Strengthening Privileged Access Controls and Cyber Oversight
Cybersecurity · IT Governance
High Priority
About this project
Recent audit findings have exposed financial irregularities and internal control weaknesses, signaling gaps in access governance and oversight. Existing cybersecurity tooling may not meet the full scope of privileged access management requirements, elevating risk to sensitive county systems and data.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program explicitly funds cybersecurity and IT initiatives, offering a viable funding path with the current grant window. Acting now aligns with the county's growing organizational focus on cyber resilience and supports compliance with internal control mandates ahead of the next audit cycle.
