Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a public EOP, relies on fragmented county emergency systems with uncertain contract continuity, and operates in a severe weather-prone area without documented after-action reviews. These gaps elevate operational and compliance risk, particularly given NIMS adoption and NERIS reporting requirements tied to federal grant eligibility.
The opportunity
Recent state and FEMA grant awards signal active funding availability, and an upcoming shift to centralized records and operations management creates a clear window for technology standardization. Addressing preparedness gaps now protects federal funding eligibility, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently relies on two separate, county-level platforms for community notification and incident management, creating fragmented workflows and gaps in situational awareness. The absence of a unified system—combined with no public EOP and NERIS reporting requirements—elevates operational and compliance risk during active incidents.
The opportunity
Recent state and FEMA grant awards signal active public safety funding availability, and NIMS compliance requirements tied to federal grant eligibility create a clear mandate for action. Consolidating now aligns with organizational changes underway and supports improved incident response outcomes for the community.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates within an active Community Wildfire Protection Plan but lacks telematics or operational technology to support fleet situational awareness in wildland-urban interface areas. Without these tools, response coordination gaps persist alongside NIMS compliance requirements and NERIS incident reporting mandates critical to federal grant eligibility.
The opportunity
Active FEMA grant funding and recent state public safety awards signal an open budget pathway for operational technology investments aligned to this initiative. Acting within the current grant cycle supports NIMS compliance, strengthens wildfire response readiness, and positions the department for continued federal funding eligibility.

Fire & Emergency Services · Compliance & Records Management
High Priority
About this project
The department faces an immediate mandate to meet NERIS fire incident reporting standards, with current records and communications managed across fragmented systems. Without a unified reporting solution, the department risks non-compliance, gaps in incident documentation, and reduced eligibility for federal grant programs tied to NIMS adoption.
The opportunity
Active state and FEMA grant awards signal available funding momentum, and an ongoing operational shift toward centralized records and procurement creates a natural window for technology standardization. Addressing NERIS compliance now reduces audit exposure and strengthens the department's position for future public safety funding.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a confirmed WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility mandate with a 2028 federal compliance deadline, while the current site is built on a limited platform with insufficient accessibility infrastructure. Without proactive remediation, the agency risks non-compliance, potential civil rights exposure, and inequitable public access to digital services.
The opportunity
Early action ahead of the 2028 deadline enables a phased, budget-conscious approach that avoids costly last-minute remediation and aligns with upcoming fiscal planning cycles. Accessible digital infrastructure supports equitable public service delivery and positions the agency to meet federal standards without disruption.
