Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village of Newberry lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented mass-notification capabilities, and recorded exercises — creating significant compliance risk around EOP currency and NIMS adoption requirements. These gaps leave the community exposed during severe incidents and elevate regulatory and operational liability.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness and mitigation grants (BRIC and HSGP) provide a direct funding path, and county-level EMPG obligations create near-term procurement urgency. A recent leadership transition opens a timely window to modernize systems, close compliance gaps, and strengthen community resilience.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village faces a state and local digital accessibility mandate aligned with WCAG standards, with a 2028 compliance deadline. An existing CMS infrastructure may require modernization or remediation, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
The 2028 WCAG-based deadline establishes a defined compliance window, making near-term planning essential to avoid legal risk and service gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the Village to phase remediation costs, leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles, and align with new leadership priorities around accessible, resident-facing services.

Fleet Safety · Public Liability & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The Village's fleet currently operates without dash cameras or telematics, leaving a documented gap in driver accountability and incident documentation. A publicly reported vehicle crash has elevated liability exposure and reputational risk, signaling an urgent need for fleet oversight infrastructure.
The opportunity
JAG program funding offers a viable path to offset telematics acquisition costs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now reduces liability risk, supports public trust, and aligns with the Village's broader focus on equipping public safety operations.
