Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass-notification system is flagged for replacement, with unknown EOP publication and review dates creating measurable preparedness gaps. A fragmented public alert ecosystem and unmet NIMS and EOP maintenance mandates elevate both operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
A $190k FEMA award for a warning and alert system is already in place, creating a near-term spend window aligned with the FY2027 budget cycle and $176M in approved capital spending. Acting now closes critical preparedness gaps, satisfies compliance mandates, and maximizes available federal funding before the window closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A confirmed $1M+ EOC grant award signals a significant capital investment window for emergency operations infrastructure, while active compliance mandates—including NIMS adoption, county EOP maintenance, and HSEEP-style exercise evaluation—underscore the operational urgency. Gaps in mass-notification capability and unresolved EOP review timelines elevate risk to coordinated public response.
The opportunity
A live grant award and the county's FY2027 capital budget cycle create a near-term procurement window that aligns funding with mission-critical infrastructure needs. Acting now supports compliance, strengthens community resilience, and positions the department to fully leverage available federal and county resources before the fiscal window closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The existing CAD support contract has no renewals remaining, creating a hard decision deadline around July 2026. A fragmented ecosystem—with separate public alert channels and the incumbent dispatch platform—poses integration gaps and operational continuity risks for emergency response.
The opportunity
The July 2026 contract expiration establishes a defined procurement window that aligns with FY2027 budget planning and available FEMA grant funding for emergency communications. Acting now allows the county to consolidate its split ecosystem, reduce response risk, and pursue cooperative purchasing pathways to maximize public safety investment.

Emergency Management · Compliance & Continuity
High Priority
About this project
Active gaps in EOP publication, NIMS compliance, and HSEEP-style exercise evaluation present measurable compliance and operational risk. A broader preparedness overhaul—including hazard mitigation planning and mass-notification modernization—is underway, requiring coordinated action to close these gaps before they affect public safety outcomes.
The opportunity
New emergency management leadership, a FEMA award for warning and alert systems, and the FY2027 budget cycle create a rare alignment of organizational readiness and fiscal opportunity. Acting now positions the county to leverage available grant funding, satisfy compliance mandates, and strengthen community resilience ahead of the next budget commitment window.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department operates heavy apparatus in a high-risk environment without current telematics, dash cameras, or structured driver coaching, creating preventable safety and liability exposure. A parallel Green Fleet initiative signals that sustainability and modernization goals are active priorities layered into the broader fleet strategy.
The opportunity
The 2026 Firefighting Support Grant Program presents a near-term funding pathway, and cooperative purchasing programs can accelerate procurement timelines within the current planning cycle. Acting now reduces incident liability, supports driver accountability, and aligns fleet investment with both safety mandates and sustainability goals.
