Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency lacks a formalized, agency-level Emergency Operations Plan and has not demonstrated full NIMS adoption compliance, with no documented exercises or audits on record. A recent severe weather and flooding declaration has elevated the urgency of these gaps, while ongoing regional hazard mitigation and EOC coordination efforts underscore the need for a structured preparedness framework.
The opportunity
A recent disaster declaration, active regional mitigation planning, and alignment with the Homeland Security Grant Program create a compelling near-term window to close compliance gaps and formalize preparedness. Acting within the current grant cycle supports mission readiness, reduces operational and liability risk, and positions the agency for sustainable, funded emergency management capacity.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency has no mass notification system in place, leaving residents and staff without a reliable alerting mechanism during emergencies. A fragmented notification landscape across counties compounds this gap, and state mandates for EOP compliance and NIMS adoption remain unmet, elevating both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
A recent severe weather declaration underscores the urgency of closing this gap before the next incident. Homeland Security grant funding is available and aligned to this need, reducing local fiscal burden. Acting now supports regional consolidation, strengthens compliance posture, and ensures residents receive timely, reliable emergency alerts.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The agency is transitioning IT services from county-managed to internally managed operations, creating gaps in cybersecurity posture, identity management, and endpoint oversight. Password security compliance needs are unmet, increasing exposure to unauthorized access and audit risk during this critical transition period.
The opportunity
The active IT transition and an annual IT spend exceeding $1M signal both urgency and available budget for near-term action. JAG and COPS TEP grant programs offer eligible funding pathways, making this an ideal moment to close compliance gaps and establish a resilient internal security foundation.
IT Endpoint & Systems Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A recent transition from county-managed IT to internal operations has left the agency without established tools for endpoint management, infrastructure oversight, or cybersecurity compliance. This gap elevates operational risk and creates exposure to unmet state security mandates during a critical period of organizational change.
The opportunity
New leadership and an active internal IT build-out create a timely window to establish modern, compliant systems before gaps compound. With over $1M in annual IT budget and cooperative procurement vehicles available, eligible solutions can be acquired efficiently within the current fiscal cycle.
Website Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The agency has formally committed to website and digital service accessibility but lacks confirmed WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, representing an active regulatory gap. Without verified conformance, the agency faces ADA exposure and risks inequitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Budget has already been allocated under Communications and Strategic Initiatives for website accessibility updates, positioning this as a funded, near-term priority. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal and compliance risk while advancing equitable, accessible service delivery for all constituents.
