Emergency Operations Plan Development and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented exercises, and After Action Reviews — creating significant compliance risk tied to NIMS implementation mandates. These gaps directly threaten FEMA grant eligibility and leave the community without a verified preparedness framework.
The opportunity
NIMS compliance and EOP maintenance are prerequisites for federal grant eligibility through programs such as HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG, making action now financially strategic. Addressing this gap ahead of the next grant cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens the department's readiness posture for residents and mutual aid partners.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department relies on a county-managed mass notification system with documented outages, creating unreliable alerting for staff and residents during emergencies. This dependency represents a critical operational risk, compounded by gaps in EOP documentation and NIMS compliance tied to grant eligibility.
The opportunity
Federal emergency management grants—including HSGP and EMPG—provide direct funding paths for this modernization with strong alignment to current eligibility drivers. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and supports sustainable, locally controlled alerting infrastructure.
Emergency Exercise & After-Action Review Program Launch
Emergency Management · NIMS Compliance
High Priority
About this project
No documented emergency exercises or After-Action Reviews (AARs) have been conducted, leaving the department out of compliance with NIMS requirements and EOP maintenance standards. This gap increases operational unpreparedness and jeopardizes eligibility for federal emergency management grant funding.
The opportunity
Active federal grant programs—including HSGP and EMPG—directly fund exercise and AAR program development, with cooperative procurement pathways available to streamline acquisition. Addressing this now, alongside EOP development, resolves compliance deficiencies holistically and strengthens the department's standing for future grant cycles.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified gaps against WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, with a legal exposure deadline of April 24, 2026. Reliance on social media as the primary public channel—without a formal content management system—creates compounding accessibility and communications risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The April 2026 compliance deadline creates near-term urgency to remediate accessibility gaps and establish a sustainable digital presence. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal exposure, supports equitable public access, and positions the department for long-term communications resilience.
Securing Endpoints and Credentials Across the Department
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks visible password management and endpoint security tooling, leaving critical systems exposed to credential-based attacks and unauthorized access. These gaps represent measurable cybersecurity risk to public data, staff operations, and service continuity.
The opportunity
No incumbent solutions are in place, creating an immediate window to establish foundational security controls before vulnerabilities are exploited. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to simplify procurement and accelerate deployment within the current fiscal cycle.
