Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces documented emergency preparedness gaps, including an undated EOP, no recorded HSEEP exercises, and unverified mass notification performance. NIMS compliance mandates and recent EOP activations during a declared state of emergency underscore the operational and regulatory urgency.
The opportunity
Over $203,000 in active emergency management tech spend and a $43,746 state grant earmarked for response readiness signal strong near-term funding alignment. Strategic momentum around EMR service launches and regional 911 capabilities makes the next 90 days a critical window for action.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification platform lacks documented performance evidence and a clear renewal roadmap, creating gaps in public alerting reliability. With an active contract cycle underway and NIMS compliance obligations in place, the risk of unplanned continuity disruption to emergency communications is elevated.
The opportunity
An active contract renewal cycle and an established emergency management technology budget exceeding $200K create a near-term window to evaluate and strengthen public alerting capabilities. Aligning this review with the current fiscal cycle supports continuity, compliance, and improved outcomes for residents during emergencies.

ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
A federal mandate requires ADA Title II and WCAG 2.1 compliance for City and Fire Department web content by April 26, 2028. Current gaps in document and portal accessibility create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to critical government services.
The opportunity
The April 2028 compliance deadline creates a defined window for scoping and procurement, making near-term action essential to avoid legal risk. This non-discretionary mandate aligns with upcoming fiscal planning cycles, and cooperative purchasing vehicles may streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Workforce Readiness
High Priority
About this project
Hardin County employees face a mandatory cybersecurity and AI training requirement with an August 2026 deadline, creating a near-term compliance obligation. General IT audit requirements are also present, and failure to meet training mandates elevates organizational risk and potential audit exposure.
The opportunity
The August 2026 deadline makes this a budget-priority item within the current and upcoming fiscal planning cycle. Addressing training compliance now reduces audit risk, strengthens the county's broader cybersecurity posture, and positions leadership to meet obligations before enforcement windows close.
