Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a clear, current Emergency Operations Plan, has no named Emergency Management Coordinator following a recent resignation, and faces escalating risk from drought and burn ban declarations. Personnel restructuring within the EOC has further exposed critical preparedness gaps that put residents and responders at operational risk.
The opportunity
Proposed FY2027 EOC funding increases and an active $1.84M emergency communications grant application create a near-term window to close preparedness gaps. Incoming EOC leadership presents a timely opening to establish a documented, compliant EOP aligned with FEMA requirements and community safety priorities.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has no mass notification system in place, creating a critical public alerting gap during active emergencies such as recent drought declarations and burn bans. A leadership transition in the Emergency Management Coordinator role further elevates operational risk and the urgency to establish reliable, compliant public communications infrastructure.
The opportunity
Proposed FY2027 EOC budget increases and an active $1.84M emergency communications grant application signal strong readiness for investment. With no incumbent system to displace and new leadership in place, the county is well-positioned to close this preparedness gap and strengthen public safety outcomes this fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Procurement & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's debris removal and monitoring contract expired in 2025, and a FEMA mandate now requires separate vendors for each function. With a bid addendum expected soon and active procurement underway, failure to act risks compliance violations and gaps in disaster response capability.
The opportunity
This is a budget-approved, compliance-driven procurement with a non-deferrable FEMA deadline, making it one of the most time-sensitive initiatives in the current cycle. Acting now ensures continuity of disaster response operations and positions the county ahead of the formal bid process.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively procuring continued emergency standby coverage amid an expiring debris removal contract, a FEMA mandate requiring separate vendors, and a vacant Emergency Management Coordinator role. These converging gaps elevate operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Budget approval is in place, procurement is active, and FY2027 EOC funding is proposed to increase — making this an immediate window to address critical preparedness gaps. A pending $1.84M emergency communications grant further signals strong near-term investment intent aligned with this initiative.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively pursuing a $1.84 million grant to modernize statewide emergency radio infrastructure, with implementation planned for 2027. Current communications capabilities have identified gaps, and a leadership transition in the Emergency Management Coordinator role adds urgency to preparedness planning.
The opportunity
Proposed FY2027 EOC budget increases and an active grant pursuit create a strong, near-term funding window for emergency communications investment. Acting now aligns with the 2027 implementation horizon, supports compliance with FEMA mandates, and strengthens county-wide emergency response for residents and first responders.
