Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Rockett Special Utility District lacks a current all-hazards Emergency Operations Plan, has no confirmed mass-notification contract, and shows no documented emergency exercises or after-action reviews. Ongoing TCEQ drought contingency reporting requirements and a preparedness score of 3 signal significant compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The mass notification system is budget-approved and Ellis County has allocated dedicated emergency management technology funding for the current fiscal cycle, with no incumbent identified. Acting now closes critical preparedness gaps, satisfies compliance mandates, and positions the district to leverage available state and federal funding pathways.

About this project
The district faces a federal WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, creating legal exposure and accessibility risk across public-facing digital properties. Without remediation, the district risks ADA-related complaints, service inequity for residents with disabilities, and potential enforcement action.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline is a firm federal driver, and the current fiscal environment—with budget increases in computer software and contract services—creates a timely window to act. Addressing the compliance gap now allows for phased implementation, cost distribution across budget cycles, and alignment with cooperative procurement pathways that reduce administrative burden.

Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
This rural utility district operates ATV and field vehicles without confirmed dash camera or driver-behavior telematics coverage, creating measurable safety risk for field personnel and the public. The absence of a complete telematics program leaves the district exposed to liability and operational blind spots in remote service areas.
The opportunity
The USDA Community Facilities Direct Loan & Grant Program offers a rolling deadline with explicit eligibility for public-works fleet and equipment, providing a near-term funding pathway. Ongoing vehicle leases signal active procurement activity, making this an actionable window to close safety gaps and strengthen field accountability.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district maintains an active penetration testing program and relies on Microsoft 365, signaling an evolving but incomplete cybersecurity posture. A current policy review and rising software budget indicate leadership is assessing gaps in endpoint protection and credential security before vulnerabilities are exploited.
The opportunity
Budget growth for computer software and an active policy review create a timely opening to close endpoint and credential security gaps within the current fiscal cycle. The JAG program offers a conditional funding pathway, and acting now reduces operational risk before the next penetration test surfaces critical findings.
