Emergency Communications & Operations Plan Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces fragmented emergency alerting due to a split between public notification and E911 CAD/fire dispatch systems, an unverified EOP status, and a documented 911 communications outage. NIMS and BEOP/EOP compliance mandates require verified, coordinated plans, and recent flooding events have exposed resource strain and coordination gaps.
The opportunity
A newly funded Emergency Management Operations Coordinator role and eligibility for Homeland Security Grant Program funds create a timely opening to address compliance gaps and consolidate communications. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are in place, reducing procurement friction and supporting efficient use of public funds this fiscal cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's telematics program currently covers highway vehicles but excludes fire apparatus, including a recently acquired aerial ladder truck. Extending coverage to fire services vehicles would close a visibility gap in a publicly owned fleet and support long-term capital and staffing investments in fire services infrastructure.
The opportunity
The county's existing telematics deployment creates a low-friction expansion path, reducing implementation complexity and cost. Aligning this project with active capital investment in fire services and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, NASPO ValuePoint) supports efficient procurement within the current budget cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Montgomery County's Emergency Operations Plan status is unverified, and NIMS and BEOP/EOP compliance remain mandated. Recent flooding events and a 911 communications outage have exposed preparedness gaps, while EMA leadership turnover increases the risk of continuity failures in plan maintenance and execution.
The opportunity
A newly established EMA Director, a funded operations coordinator role, and awareness of federal HMGP pathways create a timely opening to formalize and strengthen emergency preparedness. Acting within the current planning cycle reduces compliance exposure and positions the county to pursue available federal funding.
