Emergency Operations Plan Development and Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has no documented Emergency Operations Plan, no mass notification system, and no formal preparedness assessment on record, creating critical gaps in coordinated incident response. These deficiencies elevate operational and compliance risk for residents, first responders, and county staff during declared emergencies.
The opportunity
Active FEMA grant pursuit and a growing emergency management infrastructure budget signal near-term funding availability, while the FY 2026–27 budget cycle compresses the decisioning window. New leadership in the Sheriff's Office and Homeland Security division creates a timely opening to advance foundational preparedness initiatives with strong public safety impact.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county currently lacks any mass notification system, leaving residents and staff without a reliable alert mechanism during emergencies. This critical gap compounds documented deficiencies in emergency preparedness infrastructure, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Active FEMA grant pursuit and a current FY 2026–27 budget planning cycle create a timely funding pathway for this initiative. Addressing the gap now reduces public safety risk, supports emergency management compliance, and aligns with funded strategic priorities already in motion.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Montgomery County has identified critical gaps in emergency operations coordination and 911 infrastructure, with no confirmed current EOP or mass notification system in place. These deficiencies elevate operational and public safety risk, particularly as severe weather and regional hazard exposure persist.
The opportunity
Active FEMA grant pursuit and a live FY 2026–27 budget cycle create a near-term funding pathway for EOC and NG911 investments. New Homeland Security leadership provides an executive champion window, making this an optimal moment to advance procurement and close preparedness gaps.

Discuss this project →Hazard Mitigation Plan Development and Modernization
Emergency Management · Hazard Mitigation
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified hazard mitigation planning as a funded strategic priority within its emergency management portfolio, yet significant preparedness gaps remain — including no documented EOP or formal hazard assessment. These gaps elevate operational and public safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Active FEMA grant pursuit and an ongoing FY 2026–27 budget planning cycle create a timely window to fund and advance this initiative. Addressing mitigation planning now reduces disaster recovery costs, strengthens compliance posture, and improves community resilience before the next hazard event.
FEMA grant
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Permitting Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces non-discretionary compliance mandates requiring WCAG 2.0 AA conformance across electronic and information resources, including digital documents and web content. Gaps in accessibility expose the county to legal and audit risk while limiting equitable public access to services, including an active digital permitting initiative.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–27 budget planning cycle and recent grant funding approvals create a near-term window to address both compliance obligations and citizen-facing service delivery improvements. Acting now reduces legal exposure, advances digital equity, and aligns remediation with funded strategic initiatives already underway.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces active mandates for cybersecurity training and secure data erasure, alongside identified gaps in endpoint management and credential security. Shifting IT spend—rising hardware costs against declining software and maintenance budgets—signals a critical infrastructure rebalancing that elevates operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers a strong funding match for cybersecurity and IT management initiatives, and active contract renewal decisions align with the current FY 2026–27 budget cycle. Acting now positions the county to close compliance gaps, strengthen security posture, and maximize eligible grant funding before the procurement window closes.
