Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a documented EOP, has no dedicated mass-notification system, and relies on fragmented county platforms for resident communications. PIO certification deadlines have passed, the EM coordinator role remains unfilled, and a recent severe weather declaration has elevated preparedness gaps from administrative to operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 Emergency Management Performance Grant and an active CDBG Mitigation-Resilient Communities application provide funded pathways to close these gaps within the current budget cycle. Acting now addresses overdue compliance mandates, reduces liability exposure, and strengthens the Village's ability to protect residents during declared emergencies.

Web Accessibility · Digital Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Village faces an active WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline with no IT contractor currently in place to support website and social media modernization, a search that has remained unresolved since October 2025. This gap creates legal exposure and limits equitable digital access for residents.
The opportunity
With an open IT contractor search and an active website modernization initiative already funded or in pursuit of funding, the Village is positioned to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing accessibility compliance now reduces legal risk, improves resident-facing services, and aligns with established procurement vehicles available to local government.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The Village's IT environment relies on a fragmented mix of uncoordinated tools, creating measurable risk exposure across endpoint management, data integrity, and credential security. With an active IT and data migration initiative underway and no confirmed cybersecurity mandate in place, the gap between current operations and baseline security posture remains unaddressed.
The opportunity
Identified grant opportunities can offset cybersecurity modernization costs, and the current fiscal year budget includes line items for IT management and software—aligning timing for action. Consolidating endpoint and security tools now reduces operational risk and positions the Village for stronger compliance footing ahead of future audits or mandates.
FY 2026 EMPG Program
Discuss this project →Resident Communications Platform Consolidation
Emergency Management · Resident Communications
High Priority
About this project
The Village operates a fragmented communications ecosystem split between two platforms, creating redundancy and coverage gaps in resident-facing mass notification. This limits the Village's ability to independently manage emergency and routine communications, elevating risk during severe weather and other declared emergencies.
The opportunity
The TxGLO CDBG Mitigation-Resilient Communities grant application and the FY 2026 EMPG Program both reference resident communications improvements, creating aligned funding pathways. Consolidating now advances an active strategic initiative, reduces operational risk, and strengthens independent emergency response capacity ahead of the next severe weather season.
