Emergency Operations Plan Development & Coordination
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Commission lacks a Commission-level EOP and faces critical governance and staffing gaps, yielding an Emergency Preparedness Score of 2. NIMS adoption requirements and school EOP mandates add regulatory urgency, while fragmented mass-notification capabilities elevate risk to students, staff, and residents statewide.
The opportunity
A dedicated $4M public safety tech budget, a $50M Public Safety Revenue Sharing Grant, and FEMA-aligned funding windows create strong near-term alignment for this initiative. The reconstituted Commission's explicit mandate to review school safety EOPs and emerging safety technology makes this an immediate priority for the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Commission lacks a unified statewide mass-notification platform, with alerting tools fragmented across school safety systems and no Commission-level EOP in place. This gap creates significant operational and compliance risk, particularly given NIMS adoption mandates and the statewide requirement for school emergency operations plans.
The opportunity
A dedicated $4M emergency management and public safety technology budget, combined with significant public safety funding increases and FEMA grant eligibility, creates a strong and timely funding path. Consolidating fragmented notification tools now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens school safety outcomes, and aligns with the Commission's active mandate to evaluate statewide emergency notification solutions.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
A statewide WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate takes effect April 24, 2026, requiring full remediation of public-facing digital portals. Accessibility gaps dating to 2018 remain unresolved, exposing the agency to legal liability and inequitable access for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2026 compliance deadline creates near-term procurement urgency, with established cooperative purchasing channels available to reduce procurement friction. Acting within the current fiscal cycle mitigates legal risk and ensures equitable digital access for all constituents.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Existing cybersecurity measures are reported to be in place, but current compliance status is unverified, creating unquantified risk exposure. A leadership transition and organizational flux further limit visibility into posture gaps, leaving the agency vulnerable to audit findings or mandate non-compliance.
The opportunity
Secondary grant funding paths have been identified for cybersecurity tooling, and a positive public safety budget trend creates a viable funding window. Addressing program gaps now—during a period of leadership realignment—positions the agency to meet compliance mandates and reduce operational risk ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
