Emergency Broadcast & Mass Notification System
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
During the July 2026 flood, the county relied on social media and door-knocking due to the absence of a formal mass-notification platform, exposing critical coordination failures. Unverifiable EOP status creates compliance risk under Texas Gov Code §418.106 and FEMA NIMS requirements, threatening grant eligibility and resident safety.
The opportunity
A Commissioners Court agenda item in August 2026 signals active budget intent, creating an immediate decision window. Federal grant programs, including HSGP and EMPG, offer eligible funding pathways to close this gap with limited local match required.
Formalize Emergency Operations Plan for Statutory Compliance
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a publicly verifiable Emergency Operations Plan, placing it in statutory non-compliance under Texas Gov Code §418.106 and jeopardizing eligibility for FEMA NIMS-tied grant funding. The July 2026 flood exposed critical coordination and mass-notification failures that a formalized EOP is designed to prevent.
The opportunity
HSGP and EMPG grant eligibility is directly contingent on FEMA NIMS compliance, creating an immediate funding pathway tied to EOP development. With an emergency broadcast system already on the August 2026 Commissioners Court agenda, the planning window to align compliance, funding, and operational readiness is now.
Endpoint Security and Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county holds existing endpoint and identity management licenses but lacks documented password policy enforcement and comprehensive endpoint coverage, leaving critical security gaps. Active network separation and a security operations agreement signal a modernization effort that requires consistent credential and endpoint controls to be effective.
The opportunity
Ongoing IT modernization and an active budget environment create a timely window to close endpoint and credential security gaps before they become audit or incident liabilities. Federal grant programs such as HSGP align with cybersecurity infrastructure investments, offering a viable funding pathway within the current planning cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Compliance & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The county must bring public-facing digital portals into conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, with a defined compliance deadline of 2028. Unaddressed accessibility gaps elevate legal exposure and limit equitable resident access to essential government services.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a structured window for phased remediation planning within current and upcoming fiscal cycles, avoiding costly last-minute overhauls. Acting now allows the county to align accessibility investments with budget planning and reduce legal and operational risk proactively.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a fleet with ALPR and records software but lacks in-car video and driver-behavior telematics, creating an evidence and accountability gap. An active fire truck acquisition is expanding the fleet footprint while fleet compliance documentation remains absent.
The opportunity
The ongoing fleet expansion creates a timely entry point to establish telematics and video standards county-wide, with the PROTECT grant offering a potential funding path. Addressing this gap now reduces liability exposure, supports compliance documentation, and strengthens public accountability.
