Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The library lacks a documented library-specific Emergency Operations Plan, a dedicated mass-notification system, and evidence of emergency exercises, creating significant safety and compliance risk. These gaps conflict with NIMS mandates and leave staff, patrons, and operations vulnerable during critical incidents.
The opportunity
A recent budget approval signals an immediate procurement window, and EMPG and HSGP grant programs offer aligned funding paths with limited local match requirements. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community safety, and positions the library to act within the current fiscal cycle.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The library currently lacks a dedicated mass notification system, creating a critical gap in its ability to alert staff and the public during emergencies. This absence, combined with no documented library-specific EOP or exercises, elevates operational and NIMS compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active HSGP and EMPG grant windows offer viable funding paths with limited local match requirements. A recent budget approval creates favorable procurement timing, and addressing this gap now strengthens community safety, supports NIMS compliance, and reduces institutional liability.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The library's public-facing digital properties face WCAG and ADA compliance mandates, creating legal and equity risk if accessibility gaps remain unaddressed. A stated strategic commitment to expanding digital services makes remediation both a compliance obligation and a mission-critical priority for the communities served.
The opportunity
A recent budget approval and capital outlay flexibility create a near-term window to act before the next fiscal cycle closes. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal exposure, advances digital equity, and aligns with the library's existing strategic initiatives and web development partnerships.
Fleet Safety & Driver Monitoring Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Asset Management
High Priority
About this project
The library currently lacks documented dash cameras or telematics technology across its fleet, leaving driver behavior unmonitored and incident response undocumented. Routine insurance cost increases signal growing financial exposure, and the absence of fleet safety tools creates moderate but addressable operational risk.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding offers a viable pathway to offset investment costs, and the library's familiarity with cooperative purchasing may support a streamlined procurement process. Acting within the current budget cycle—following recent budget approval—positions the library to reduce liability and strengthen public asset stewardship.
