Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, has no documented recent exercises, and faces unmet NIMS implementation requirements — gaps that elevate compliance and operational risk. For an entity with a core emergency response mission, these deficiencies directly threaten coordinated response capability and public safety outcomes.
The opportunity
A confirmed $495,000 USDA grant for emergency dispatch upgrades, alongside HSGP and EMPG funding opportunities, creates an immediate and well-resourced path to close these gaps. Acting within the current grant window aligns remediation efforts with available funding and reduces compliance exposure ahead of required EOP review cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department is experiencing active mass notification system migration issues, undermining reliable public and staff alerting during emergencies. Compounding this, documented gaps in emergency preparedness—including the absence of a publicly posted EOP and no recent exercise records—elevate both operational and compliance risk under NIMS requirements.
The opportunity
A $495,000 USDA grant for emergency dispatch system upgrades, alongside HSGP and EMPG funding eligibility, creates a near-term budget pathway to resolve these gaps. Acting within the current grant window strengthens alerting continuity, advances NIMS compliance, and reduces risk to residents and first responders.
Emergency Communications Infrastructure Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's 800 MHz radio infrastructure is obsolete, creating direct gaps in emergency response communications reliability. Compounding this, documented emergency preparedness gaps—including mass notification migration issues and overdue NIMS and EOP compliance requirements—elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
A $495,000 USDA grant for emergency dispatch system upgrades provides a clear, near-term funding pathway, and cooperative purchasing options reduce procurement friction. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with recent budget approvals and positions the department to close critical compliance and communications gaps before they affect response outcomes.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a WCAG/ADA website accessibility mandate with a 2026–2027 compliance deadline, alongside a planned county website redesign. Without a coordinated remediation strategy, the county risks non-compliance, potential legal exposure, and inequitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 deadline creates a defined planning window, and the county's $37 million ARPA allocation is under active deliberation—creating a viable funding pathway for digital accessibility investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the county to align remediation efforts with the broader website redesign and avoid costly reactive fixes.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county's fragmented IT infrastructure and use of consumer-grade email by leadership signal meaningful cybersecurity hygiene gaps that expose public data and operations to risk. Technology modernization has been identified as a strategic priority, and unaddressed vulnerabilities create operational and reputational exposure for the county.
The opportunity
The county is actively evaluating how to deploy $37 million in ARPA funding, with cybersecurity and IT modernization as eligible investment areas alongside HSGP and EMPG grant pathways. Acting within the current fiscal window positions the county to close critical gaps, strengthen resilience, and demonstrate responsible stewardship of public funds.
