Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county currently relies on a fragmented mix of notification platforms mid-transition, creating public confusion and communication gaps. A recent winter storm exposed this as a critical failure, including loss of 911 communications, elevating operational and life-safety risk for residents and responders.
The opportunity
An active budget cycle tied to documented infrastructure deficiencies creates a near-term window to consolidate notification capabilities and reduce emergency response risk. Addressing this now aligns with county emergency management planning obligations and supports more effective, unified public communications during declared events.
Formalize EOC Coordination and Emergency Operations Planning
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hickman County's Emergency Operations Plan status is unknown, and inter-agency coordination gaps have already resulted in critical communication failures and loss of 911 services during a recent winter storm. TEMA framework requirements and NIMS compliance obligations create a mandate-driven need to formalize EOC planning before the next emergency event.
The opportunity
A 911 budget meeting in late July 2026 directly links documented infrastructure deficiencies to active funding discussions, creating a near-term window to advance EOC coordination and mass notification improvements. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational risk, supports TEMA and NIMS compliance, and strengthens public safety outcomes for the communities served.
Emergency Communication Infrastructure Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
A recent winter storm exposed critical gaps in 911 communication continuity, including insufficient generator capacity for EMS and inadequate fuel storage at the 911 site. These documented deficiencies represent active operational risk to emergency response and public safety outcomes.
The opportunity
Identified infrastructure gaps are directly tied to an upcoming budget discussion, signaling an active procurement window for remediation. Addressing these failures now reduces life-safety risk, supports emergency operations continuity, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
Fleet Visibility & Documentation Gap Assessment
Fleet Management · Public Safety Operations
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks documented visibility into fleet operations, including the status of any existing accident prevention measures. While no active liability pressure or fleet-related incidents have been identified, the gap presents a latent operational and documentation risk.
The opportunity
Addressing fleet documentation gaps proactively supports long-term operational accountability and positions the department for future funding eligibility. As higher-urgency initiatives are resolved, this project aligns naturally with upcoming fiscal planning cycles.
