Emergency Operations Plan & EOC Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is undocumented with an unknown review history, leaving significant preparedness gaps amid recurring severe weather and hazmat incidents in Morgan County. Integrated EOC and dispatch workflows are absent, and citizen alerting system performance remains unverified, elevating operational and community safety risk.
The opportunity
NIMS adoption requirements tied to federal grant eligibility create a compliance-driven deadline, while an available VFEAT grant provides direct funding for emergency management equipment. A leadership transition and upcoming budget committee activity present a timely window to formalize the EOP and modernize EOC capabilities.

IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The department's annual IT spend of $115,700 includes only $2,079 allocated to emergency management and public safety technology, signaling a critical underinvestment in endpoint and device management. An existing MOU for mobile devices highlights a growing need for centralized IT oversight to ensure operational continuity and device security across the department.
The opportunity
The active VFEAT grant program explicitly covers computer software and devices, creating a direct, near-term funding path for IT management modernization. With new departmental leadership in place and budget committee activity underway, this is a timely window to advance technology adoption, reduce operational risk, and strengthen public safety readiness.

High Priority
About this project
The department faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate covering web and document content, with a compliance deadline of April 2027. Without an active remediation effort underway, the risk of legal exposure and barriers to public digital access continues to grow.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates a defined planning horizon, making near-term scoping and staged remediation essential to avoid last-minute risk. Early action supports equitable public access, aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle, and allows time for direct procurement planning without cooperative vehicle constraints.
