EOP Compliance & Emergency Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Pickett County has no publicly confirmed current Emergency Operations Plan, creating a critical compliance gap under TEMA's mandated framework. An active repeat audit finding is compounding fiscal pressure, and recent disaster declarations underscore the operational risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
TEMA's non-discretionary EOP mandate and an existing EM/public safety budget allocation create a clear, near-term procurement window. Addressing this gap now reduces audit exposure, strengthens regional 911 coordination, and positions the county for state and federal emergency preparedness funding eligibility.
Mass Notification Consolidation for Unified Emergency Alerting
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a fragmented emergency notification environment with an incumbent platform lacking confirmed renewal or end-of-life status, alongside a separate consolidated PSAP. This split ecosystem creates coordination gaps, limits unified alerting, and leaves the county's EOP compliance posture under TEMA's framework unverified and at risk.
The opportunity
The incumbent system's uncertain contract status opens a near-term window to consolidate and modernize before a gap in coverage occurs. Addressing this now supports TEMA EOP compliance, strengthens regional 911 coordination, and aligns with the county's existing emergency management budget and eligible state preparedness funding pathways.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Fleet-related insurance costs rose 36.3% from FY2024 to FY2025, signaling escalating financial and operational risk. Without telematics systems or formal safety reviews, the county lacks visibility into driver behavior and the data needed to reduce incident exposure.
The opportunity
The sharp insurance cost increase creates a strong ROI case for fleet safety investment, and potential grant programs may offset modernization costs for qualifying transit operations. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the county to reduce liability, improve accountability, and stabilize long-term fleet expenditures.
