Emergency Operations Plan and Mass Notification Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village of Concord lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a village-operated mass notification system, and documented emergency exercises. These gaps create significant compliance and operational risk, particularly given NIMS implementation requirements tied to emergency management funding eligibility.
The opportunity
Active federal grant programs, including HSGP and BRIC, offer near-term funding pathways aligned with this project's scope and limited local match requirements. Advancing the EOP and notification infrastructure now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next grant cycle.
Village-Controlled Mass Notification System Deployment
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village currently depends entirely on county-operated alerts for mass notification, limiting local control, reach, and response speed during emergencies. This gap, combined with the absence of a village-run system, elevates operational risk and may affect eligibility for emergency management funding tied to NIMS compliance.
The opportunity
Village leadership has already identified mass notification modernization as a strategic priority, creating internal momentum for near-term action. Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding is applicable, and cooperative purchasing options may reduce procurement complexity and local cost burden.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village faces a documented ADA Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 AA website compliance by January 27, 2026, with no current plan or technology in place. Council visibility into website operations amplifies urgency, and failure to act risks legal exposure and inequitable access to public services.
The opportunity
The January 2026 deadline makes this an immediate procurement priority, and cooperative purchasing options may streamline acquisition within current budget cycles. Acting now reduces compliance risk, ensures equitable digital access for all residents, and avoids potential enforcement action.

Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village's Department of Public Works operates without any telematics or vehicle video system, leaving fleet safety risks unmitigated. This gap creates operational liability exposure for staff, vehicles, and the public with no current solution in place.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing programs available to the village can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden, making this an accessible near-term investment. Addressing fleet visibility now reduces operational risk and supports responsible stewardship of public assets ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
