Emergency Preparedness & Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, relies on fragmented mass-notification systems, and has no documented HSEEP-style exercises. NIMS compliance is required for funding eligibility, creating an active mandate with direct operational and financial consequences.
The opportunity
Existing grant mechanisms align directly with this preparedness gap, and a recent $1M funding award signals an active procurement window. Addressing these gaps now strengthens compliance posture, consolidates notification systems, and positions the county to protect residents and secure continued public safety funding.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a fragmented mass-notification environment—relying on county-level Smart911 alongside township SMS—with no unified department-level system, limiting reliability and reach during incidents. This gap conflicts with NIMS compliance requirements and elevates operational risk for residents and emergency personnel.
The opportunity
HSGP funding is directly applicable to emergency notification and preparedness initiatives, creating a near-term window to address critical gaps without significant local match burden. Consolidating now strengthens NIMS compliance, improves incident response outcomes, and aligns with active budget planning cycles.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals have identified ADA/WCAG compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and risk of litigation. Without remediation, the county faces potential civil liability and unequal access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Funding for web accessibility initiatives is actively being sought, aligning this project with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle and potential state or federal accessibility grant windows. Addressing compliance gaps now reduces litigation risk and ensures equitable public access to essential government services.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A newly onboarded IT Director is actively pursuing CIS standards and zero-trust initiatives, signaling recognized gaps in endpoint and credential security. Investments in 911 server infrastructure and public safety system integration heighten the need for hardened, centrally managed endpoint and password controls.
The opportunity
FY2026 budget approvals for IT and cybersecurity staffing and initiatives open a near-term procurement window aligned with current planning cycles. Homeland security grant programs may offer eligible funding paths, reducing local cost burden while advancing compliance and operational resilience.
