Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Port lacks a current, clearly documented Emergency Operations Plan and relies on a county-level mass notification system that issued false tornado warnings, triggering public criticism and mass unsubscribes. NIMS and state EOP mandates remain unmet, creating measurable compliance and reputational risk.
The opportunity
Secured Port Security Grant funding and alignment with SAFE Port Act compliance requirements create a near-term window to act with reduced local fiscal burden. Formalizing the EOP and replacing the failed alerting capability now protects public trust, strengthens resilience, and satisfies regulatory obligations ahead of the next review cycle.

Discuss this project →Maritime Cybersecurity & Credential Management Compliance
Maritime Security · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A USCG maritime cybersecurity regulation deadline of July 16, 2025 is approaching with no documented plan or credential management technology in place. This hard-deadline compliance gap exposes the Port to direct regulatory risk and potential operational disruption if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
The July 2025 deadline creates immediate procurement urgency, and the Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) is an eligible funding source for cybersecurity and IT investments. Acting within the current grant and fiscal cycle reduces compliance risk and strengthens critical infrastructure protection.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics and Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
Despite recent equipment upgrades, the Port has no documented use of dash cameras, telematics, or driver monitoring systems, creating unmitigated operational and safety risk across its fleet. A funded fleet modernization initiative and regional adoption of telematics signal readiness to close this gap.
The opportunity
A $15M federal infrastructure grant (April 2026) and active state funding proposals create near-term procurement windows aligned with fleet technology investment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports operational efficiency, driver accountability, and responsible stewardship of public infrastructure funds.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure Monitoring & Endpoint Visibility Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Port's $30M funded infrastructure program and SAFE Port Act-compliant terminal development are driving growing requirements for IT management and endpoint visibility. A USCG maritime cybersecurity compliance deadline of July 2025 creates an urgent mandate, with no confirmed plan or technology currently in place.
The opportunity
Active federal grant funding—including the Port Security Grant Program—covers eligible IT and cybersecurity purchases, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns with infrastructure buildout timelines and reduces compliance and operational risk before the regulatory deadline.
