Emergency Operations Plan Development for Village Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village of Sterling has no village-level Emergency Operations Plan, no documented exercises, and relies entirely on county resources for emergency response. Recent local flooding and statewide emergencies expose significant preparedness gaps and risk of NIMS non-compliance, which could jeopardize federal funding eligibility.
The opportunity
NIMS compliance requirements and active grant programs — including HSGP and BRIC — create a near-term window to close preparedness gaps with available federal funding support. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces compliance risk, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with county-level emergency management priorities already underway.
Village-Level Mass Notification System
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village currently lacks its own mass notification capability, relying entirely on county infrastructure for emergency alerts — limiting local control and response speed. This dependency, combined with documented emergency preparedness gaps and NIMS compliance requirements, elevates operational and federal funding risk.
The opportunity
County-level emergency management requirements and active hazard mitigation planning create a clear and timely catalyst for the village to establish independent notification capability. HSGP and BRIC grant programs are directly aligned to this need, and cooperative purchasing vehicles support a streamlined procurement path within the current funding cycle.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The village has experienced serious fleet-related injuries and recurring vehicle damage, signaling elevated safety and liability risk. Gaps in driver behavior monitoring and incident documentation leave the fleet without adequate oversight tools to prevent future harm to staff and the public.
The opportunity
Existing fleet maintenance budget provides a foundation for investment, and cooperative purchasing programs can simplify and accelerate procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces ongoing liability exposure and supports safer service delivery for residents and first responders.

Cybersecurity & Credential Management · Hazard Mitigation & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village's Hazard Mitigation Plan formally identifies a gap in enterprise-level security and credential management, suggesting current reliance on fragmented or informal tools. Without documented controls, the village faces elevated compliance and operational risk tied to recognized cybersecurity mandates.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding has been identified as a viable path for this project, and the Hazard Mitigation Plan provides a policy-level mandate that can accelerate procurement decisions. Acting within the current grant cycle allows the village to consolidate fragmented security tools and reduce risk with limited local funds required.
