Emergency Operations Plan & EM Leadership Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unknown EOP status, no mass notification infrastructure, and absent emergency management leadership. A recent pipeline leak incident underscores the operational and public safety risks these gaps create for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Over $330,000 in existing grant allocations and a FEMA HMGP/CDBG-MIT deadline of June 22, 2026 create near-term urgency to align procurement and close preparedness gaps. Acting now positions the county to maximize federal funding, reduce liability exposure, and establish durable incident response capacity.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
San Jacinto County's current text-based alert system has documented boundary limitations, leaving gaps in reliable resident and staff notification during emergencies. With an unknown EOP status and no confirmed comprehensive mass notification capability, the county faces elevated operational and life-safety risk.
The opportunity
A FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) deadline of June 22, 2026 creates a defined and time-sensitive funding window. Acting now aligns with active emergency management investment priorities and reduces resident risk before the next incident.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
San Jacinto County has active procurement underway for 911 communications upgrades and fire department modernization, including new tankers and facilities, with committed budget and grant support. Critical preparedness gaps remain, including unknown EOP status and limited mass notification capability, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Allocated emergency management grants and capital funding are in motion now, with a FEMA Hazard Mitigation grant window extending through mid-2026. Addressing communications and preparedness gaps in the current cycle strengthens interoperability, reduces liability exposure, and advances mission-critical public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety and Vehicle Accountability Management
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a 52.52% surge in auto liability insurance premiums alongside documented employee misuse of county vehicles, including impaired driving incidents. Active procurement of new vehicles amplifies the urgency for fleet-wide oversight, accountability, and risk controls.
The opportunity
Escalating insurance costs and documented misuse incidents create a compelling financial and risk-mitigation case for immediate investment, with new vehicle procurement offering a natural deployment window. Addressing this now supports responsible stewardship of public funds and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

IT Modernization · Audit & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has approved a new IT position and has active software and hardware maintenance initiatives underway, yet overdue audits from 2024 and 2025—alongside a scheduled TEA DVA audit—signal mounting compliance pressure. Without improved IT process and tooling, operational risk and audit exposure will continue to grow against a documented annual IT spend of approximately $325,000.
The opportunity
The newly established IT role signals organizational readiness to act, and current audit deadlines create a defined window to address endpoint and systems management gaps before findings escalate. This project aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle and may be supported through existing IT budget allocations or cooperative purchasing agreements already in use by the county.
