This project seeks a vendor to provide comprehensive strategic plan development and facilitation services related to resilience hub and emergency preparedness initiatives. The provider will conduct in-depth research and assessment, reviewing current programs and evaluating existing community networks, partner organizations, facilities, and identifying critical gaps, opportunities, and coordination needs.

The vendor will facilitate stakeholder engagement by leading interviews, workshops, and meetings with county departments, community organizations, faith-based groups, and private-sector partners. This process is intended to collect valuable input on community priorities, operational needs, and partnership expectations.

Further, the vendor will be responsible for developing the strategic plan, including defining the network’s vision, mission, goals, governance structure, and operating model. Deliverables will establish roles and responsibilities, activation protocols, partnership mechanisms, and relevant performance measures, alongside providing draft partnership tools and templates.

Finally, the provider will prepare budget recommendations and sustainability strategies, including identifying potential funding streams—public, private, grant, and philanthropic—and crafting a three-year implementation and sustainability framework to ensure long-term success.
