A perspective on how the City might procure the design of a flood alarm system for the Leaf and Bouie River basin. Five chapters: the environment and three Mississippi institutions with relevant capacity; the typical procurement sequence under Mississippi interlocal cooperation authority; a parallel commercial-vendor option with regional reference deployments; and funding pathways grouped by source — local district authority, currently-open federal windows (the FEMA BRIC program has a July 23, 2026 deadline), state and Congressional channels, and private foundations. Includes verified Hazard Mitigation Plan, NFIP, and Community Rating System status for all three jurisdictions, drawn from FEMA primary sources. Presented as one pathway among several, not a fixed plan.
