Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity's Emergency Operations Plan is unverified, and documented after-action reviews for recurring severe weather events are absent. Mandated NIMS adoption, annual EOP review, and imminent Hazmat and All-Hazards tabletop exercises create compounding compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Capital outlay for Emergency Management is budgeted for 2025–2026, and EMPG funding offers a viable path to offset costs with limited local match. Acting within this fiscal window closes critical preparedness gaps before mandated exercises and compliance deadlines arrive.
Emergency Mass Notification Platform Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity currently lacks a dedicated emergency notification platform, creating a critical preparedness gap during severe weather events and other incidents requiring rapid public or staff communication. Outstanding EOP verification, NIMS compliance mandates, and upcoming required tabletop exercises elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
FY 2025–2026 IT software budget allocations and EMPG grant eligibility provide viable funding pathways to close this gap now. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community preparedness, and positions the entity ahead of proposed software budget reductions in 2026–2027.
Disaster Recovery Infrastructure Procurement and Resilience Planning
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An active RFP for disaster recovery services—including distribution management systems and satellite communications—signals critical gaps in resilient infrastructure. Unverified emergency operations planning, absent mass-notification capabilities, and recurring severe weather exposure compound operational and compliance risk for the county and fire department.
The opportunity
A live procurement cycle and capital outlay for emergency management create a near-term decision window aligned with current fiscal planning. Federal grant programs such as EMPG support eligible investments in interoperable communications and disaster recovery, reducing local funding burden while strengthening community resilience.
Sign Maintenance Software Modernization and Replacement
IT Modernization · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county's current sign maintenance software is approaching end-of-life, with contract expiration expected within 1–2 years. Without a timely replacement, operational continuity for sign inventory and maintenance workflows is at risk, and adjacent web accessibility or content management needs may go unaddressed.
The opportunity
The active contract expiration window creates a defined, time-bound decision point aligned with current IT budget allocations for 2025–2026. Acting now allows the county to evaluate solutions deliberately, leverage cooperative procurement pathways, and avoid a reactive, higher-cost transition under deadline pressure.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Rising vehicle insurance costs and significant overspending on fleet repair and maintenance are straining public safety budgets, with fire truck financing on the horizon. No verified telematics or dash camera systems are currently in place, and fixed LPR camera installations are actively planned, creating both operational risk and a clear technology gap.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions in the Fire Department create a timely opening to re-evaluate fleet management practices, and the Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program may offer a funding pathway. Acting within the current fiscal cycle can reduce insurance liability, control maintenance costs, and advance planned LPR initiatives.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Legacy software retirement and active IT budget allocations signal an urgent need to strengthen endpoint management and credential security. Without updated tooling, the organization faces elevated operational risk and potential gaps in access control that could expose sensitive public-sector systems and data.
The opportunity
The current 2025–2026 IT budget cycle presents a favorable window for investment before proposed funding reductions take effect in 2026–2027. JAG and EMPG grants explicitly support information systems and cybersecurity improvements, offering near-term funding leverage to advance this initiative with reduced local burden.
