Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No publicly identified Emergency Operations Plan exists for the department, creating significant preparedness, operational, and compliance risk. TEMA corrective action guidance and overdue NIMS training mandates elevate urgency for firefighters and the communities they serve.
The opportunity
Active budget planning for FY 2026–2027, with May 2026 meetings, creates a near-term procurement window aligned with documented preparedness gaps. Addressing this now supports TEMA compliance, strengthens E911 coordination, and positions the department to steward public safety funds responsibly.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Newbern Volunteer Fire Department has no official mass notification platform, creating a critical gap in alerting staff and residents during emergencies. This gap, combined with NIMS compliance mandates and integration needs with Dyer County E911, elevates both operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The active 2026–2027 budget cycle and documented emergency management tech spend signal readiness to act. Addressing this gap now strengthens TEMA compliance, supports E911 coordination, and positions the department to leverage public safety funding aligned with the current fiscal window.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Significant insurance cost increases — including a 37.7% rise for Sheriff and Fire Prevention operations — signal elevated fleet risk and unsustainable budget pressure. Adopting telematics and in-vehicle camera technology can document incidents, support claims, and improve driver behavior to reduce ongoing liability exposure.
The opportunity
With an active budget planning cycle underway for FY 2026–2027, now is the right time to evaluate fleet safety investments that can reduce insurance costs and protect public assets. Cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use by the department can streamline procurement and accelerate deployment within the current fiscal window.
