Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified critical gaps in emergency preparedness, including unclear EOP status, no documented HSEEP-style exercises, and an unverified mass notification system. Active NIMS and EMPG compliance mandates create regulatory pressure to close these gaps and establish a structured preparedness program.
The opportunity
An EMPG award is already in place and HSGP funding directly supports emergency management improvements, creating a clear funding pathway this cycle. A new Fire Chief and approved fire-fund appropriations signal strong organizational readiness to advance preparedness initiatives now.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's current mass notification capabilities are unclear, with reliance on a county-managed system creating dependency, limited direct control, and potential gaps in timely resident and staff alerting. This arrangement introduces operational friction and raises compliance concerns tied to NIMS requirements and EMPG eligibility standards.
The opportunity
NIMS compliance mandates and active EMPG funding eligibility create a clear, time-sensitive case for action. Grant programs such as HSGP and BRIC align directly with this project scope, and a recent leadership transition opens a favorable window for advancing emergency communication improvements within the current fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Domain Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces an approaching WCAG/ADA compliance deadline for its public-facing web presence, creating legal and accessibility risk for residents if unaddressed. An active transition to a .gov domain signals ongoing digital transformation efforts that must align with accessibility standards.
The opportunity
The defined WCAG/ADA deadline creates a clear, time-sensitive window to act within the current fiscal cycle before compliance consequences take effect. Addressing accessibility now supports equitable public access, reduces legal exposure, and aligns with active digital infrastructure decisions already underway.
IT Infrastructure Consolidation and Cybersecurity Hardening
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a fragmented split-domain environment across township and fire systems, creating identity management gaps and elevated security risk. An active transition to an Authority structure is driving urgent infrastructure consolidation and security hardening needs.
The opportunity
A budget-approved cybersecurity initiative and active IT transition create a near-term procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle. JAG funding may offset costs, and consolidating the split ecosystem now reduces long-term operational risk and supports continuity of public safety services.
