Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Station 17 faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unconfirmed EOP, public warning system deficiencies, and unresolved flood planning concerns. Active compliance mandates—NIMS adoption and the NERIS fire reporting transition—create regulatory pressure that elevates operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget increases for Civil Defense/EMA and Fire Prevention & Control signal a financially supportive environment for addressing these gaps now. A 2025 leadership transition at the county EMA level presents a timely opening to advance modernization priorities aligned with compliance deadlines and community safety outcomes.
Public Warning & Mass Notification System Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Montgomery County has identified active siren timing failures in its public warning infrastructure, creating a direct gap in community alerting during emergencies. Combined with an unconfirmed EOP and flood planning concerns, these deficiencies elevate operational and NIMS compliance risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The county's FY2027 public safety budget increases and prior investment in first responder communications signal a receptive funding environment for this upgrade. Addressing warning system gaps now reduces community risk, supports NIMS and EOP compliance, and aligns with the current budget planning cycle.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Expansion
Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A fatal school bus crash in Montgomery County has elevated fleet safety to an executive-level priority across county-owned vehicles. An existing telematics deployment in highway vehicles provides a proven foundation, while ongoing fleet modernization—including new fire engines and vehicle acquisitions—creates a timely opportunity to extend safety monitoring countywide.
The opportunity
FY2027 capital budget allocations for fleet modernization and public safety signal near-term funding availability for this expansion. Acting now leverages an established deployment baseline, reduces procurement complexity, and strengthens driver and public safety outcomes ahead of the next budget cycle.
