Modernize Emergency Operations and Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly dated Emergency Operations Plan, has unresolved mass-notification gaps, and faces documented flood and tornado exposure. Fragmented alert systems and outstanding NIMS compliance obligations elevate operational and public safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2026-2027 budget includes a Fire Department funding increase and new equipment allocation, creating a near-term window to act. Participation in Hazard Mitigation Action Planning signals leadership readiness, and cooperative purchasing options may accelerate procurement within the current budget cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Current digital properties do not meet the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard mandated by a 2028 federal compliance deadline, exposing the entity to legal and regulatory risk. Without remediation, residents face barriers to equitable access to public services and information online.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a defined planning horizon, and the current FY2026–2027 budget cycle—which reflects increased overall spending—supports initiating remediation now. Acting early allows for phased implementation, cooperative purchasing pathways, and alignment with available digital equity funding.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The volunteer fire department operates its fleet without dash cameras, telematics, or driver monitoring, creating measurable safety and liability exposure. With no existing technology infrastructure in place, the department faces preventable risk to personnel, apparatus, and the public it serves.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2026–2027 Fire Department budget includes a new equipment purchase allocation, creating a timely and funded pathway for fleet safety investment. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to Texas local governments can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden, enabling faster deployment.

Discuss this project →Modernize IT Infrastructure and Strengthen Credential Governance
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The department is actively modernizing IT systems — including new software platforms, hardware upgrades, and approved IT services — while gaps in credential governance and endpoint management remain unresolved. A concurrent leadership transition elevates the risk of governance continuity lapses during a critical period of technology change.
The opportunity
The RVFDAP grant provides an eligible funding path for computer systems supporting the volunteer fire department, aligning with the current FY2026–2027 budget cycle and active IT decision-making. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational risk, supports continuity through leadership transition, and leverages available funding before the window closes.
