Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces critical preparedness gaps — including an undocumented EOP, no HSEEP exercises, and a limited public alert system — while NIMS adoption and EOP maintenance mandates remain unmet. Recent severe weather events, including a significant ice storm, have further exposed the risks of a fragmented emergency communications framework.
The opportunity
New department leadership, confirmed FY2026-27 budget allocations, statewide volunteer fire grants, and active FEMA reimbursement requests create a rare, time-bound window to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience within the next 90 days.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's current communications system is fragmented, creating measurable operational risk for first responders during active incidents. With $100,000 dedicated in the FY2026-27 budget and NIMS compliance obligations in place, the need for a unified radio infrastructure is both funded and urgent.
The opportunity
Confirmed budget allocation and an existing state contract enable a fast, compliant procurement path this fiscal cycle. Acting now reduces first-responder risk, supports NIMS alignment, and leverages statewide grant avenues available to volunteer fire departments.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's web presence lacks a solution to meet WCAG/ADA compliance requirements, creating legal exposure and barriers to public access for residents. With no current system in place, the gap represents both a regulatory risk and an equity concern for constituents relying on digital services.
The opportunity
ADA/WCAG compliance is a legal obligation, making inaction a growing liability risk as enforcement and public scrutiny increase. Addressing this now—while no incumbent solution exists—allows for a clean, cost-effective implementation aligned with the current fiscal planning cycle and cooperative purchasing options.
Endpoint Security Modernization for Public Safety Operations
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department relies on a legacy endpoint security product with identified vulnerability gaps, creating operational and data protection risk. Without visibility into full IT spend, scoping a modernization effort is challenging, but the existing software footprint confirms active IT investment and a clear need for updated endpoint protection.
The opportunity
New departmental leadership creates a timely opening to evaluate modern endpoint security solutions aligned with current threat landscapes and compliance expectations. Transitioning within the upcoming fiscal cycle can reduce exposure, improve manageability, and may align with cooperative purchasing vehicles to streamline procurement.
