Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a published EOP, has no identified Emergency Management Coordinator, and operates a fragmented alerting ecosystem that creates critical coordination gaps. A TDEM tabletop exercise deadline and active state EOP mandates elevate compliance and operational risk for the community.
The opportunity
An approved EOC budget increase and FY2026 EMPG and HSGP grant eligibility create a funded pathway to act before the September 30, 2026 fiscal year end. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community emergency response ahead of the November tabletop exercise deadline.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a fragmented alerting ecosystem—with separate systems for mass notification, EOC radios, and pagers—creating reliability gaps that put staff and public communications at risk during incidents. The unclear status of the existing mass notification system, combined with pending state EOP mandates and a scheduled TDEM tabletop exercise, elevates both operational and compliance exposure.
The opportunity
A budget-approved EOC resilience investment and the approaching September 30, 2026 fiscal year-end create a near-term window to act. FY2026 EMPG and HSGP funding categories include interoperable communications equipment, making this project eligible for state and federal support with limited local match required.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates emergency vehicles in remote terrain with no documented fleet telematics, leaving preventive safety and cost-control gaps unaddressed. Auto/physical-damage and workers' compensation insurance expenses have run significantly over budget, signaling elevated operational and financial risk.
The opportunity
A $25,000 state equipment grant provides a funded entry point for fire-and-rescue fleet technology, with fiscal year-end spending deadlines approaching September 30, 2026. Active fleet and apparatus modernization initiatives—including a new tanker truck—make this an ideal moment to close the telematics gap and reduce insurance exposure.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A mandated cybersecurity training deadline of August 31, 2026, carries explicit consequences for non-compliance, while current IT spend signals limited existing security tooling. New endpoints being added to the EOC introduce additional credential and access management vulnerabilities that must be addressed.
The opportunity
The August 2026 deadline creates immediate prioritization pressure, and FY2026 EMPG and HSGP grants identify cybersecurity enhancement equipment as eligible technology, offering a viable funding pathway. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance risk and strengthens EOC operational continuity.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Content Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital content must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 26, 2028, and current use of informal SaaS tools for communications suggests unresolved document accessibility gaps. Early identification of non-compliant workflows reduces remediation costs and legal exposure for the department.
The opportunity
With fiscal year-end approaching September 30, 2026, near-term budget planning creates a practical window to evaluate and adopt accessible document and workflow solutions. Acting ahead of the 2028 deadline lowers long-term remediation risk and supports equitable public access to government services.
