Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan and has unverified EMPG funding, creating immediate gaps in NIMS compliance — a non-discretionary federal mandate tied directly to grant eligibility and operational readiness for the communities served.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 Next Generation Warning System Grant Program offers a viable funding path, and cooperative purchasing agreements can simplify procurement. Acting now closes compliance gaps, protects federal funding eligibility, and strengthens community-level emergency response capacity.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a locally controlled mass notification system, relying entirely on county-managed infrastructure without a direct contract or independent activation capability. This dependency creates a critical alerting gap during localized emergencies and conflicts with NIMS compliance requirements tied to federal grant eligibility.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 Next Generation Warning System Grant Program presents a timely, aligned funding pathway to close this gap with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant cycle strengthens operational independence, supports NIMS compliance, and protects community safety outcomes. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public web presence has identified WCAG 2.1 Level A/AA compliance gaps, and the current accessibility overlay does not fully satisfy federal requirements. This leaves the entity exposed to legal risk and fails to ensure equitable digital access for residents with disabilities ahead of the 2028 regulatory deadline.
The opportunity
The firm 2028 WCAG 2.1 deadline creates a clear planning window to stage remediation by risk severity before enforcement exposure grows. Cooperative procurement vehicles are available, and addressing gaps now supports equitable service delivery while aligning with upcoming fiscal planning cycles.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent apparatus accident has exposed critical gaps in fleet monitoring, including the absence of telematics and dash-camera systems, limiting visibility into vehicle condition and operator behavior. Without these tools, the department faces elevated liability, safety risk, and limited ability to prevent or document future incidents.
The opportunity
Tennessee's Volunteer Firefighter Equipment and Training Grant signals available public safety funding, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate compliant procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational liability and strengthens apparatus safety for crews and the communities they serve.
