EOP Compliance & Emergency Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county Emergency Operations Plan is nearly five years overdue, leaving the department out of compliance with the Fayette County Emergency Management Plan and NIMS adoption requirements. Fragmented mass notification and aging communications infrastructure compound legal and operational risk for the department and surrounding community.
The opportunity
Active grant programs targeting emergency communications equipment and public safety technology provide viable, low-local-match funding paths for this initiative. A recent leadership transition and a mandated public safety radio upgrade deadline of 2025–2026 create urgency to act within the current fiscal cycle.

About this project
A federally mandated upgrade to 700MHz interoperability standards carries a hard compliance deadline of 2025–2026, with project costs estimated at $1.5M–$3M. Fragmented mass notification, a past internet outage, and inadequate backup connectivity compound operational risk for first responders and the communities they serve.
The opportunity
The 2025–2026 federal interoperability deadline creates immediate urgency, and grant programs specifically funding emergency communications equipment and radios provide clear budget pathways. Acting within the current funding cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens coordinated response capacity for residents and volunteer personnel.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates emergency apparatus with volunteer drivers but lacks documented fleet safety technology, including GPS tracking, dash cameras, or telematics. An elevated workers' compensation risk modifier signals heightened liability exposure, and active county-level fleet acquisition amplifies the urgency to act.
The opportunity
Ongoing fleet acquisition at the county level creates a natural entry point to implement safety and telematics solutions with no displacement required. This project aligns with current fiscal activity and supports liability reduction, driver accountability, and stewardship of public safety resources.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing website has identified WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance gaps, creating legal exposure under ADA and limiting access for residents with disabilities. A strategic initiative to upgrade the site and remediate digital accessibility deficiencies has already been prioritized.
The opportunity
An active WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate creates regulatory urgency, and the initiative is already recognized as an organizational priority — signaling readiness to act within the current planning cycle. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk and ensures equitable public access to digital services.
