Court Emergency Operations & Continuity Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The court lacks a court-specific Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP), with no internal notification processes separate from countywide systems and no documented court-led emergency exercises. These gaps expose court staff, the public, and judicial operations to significant safety and continuity risk during emergencies.
The opportunity
An active EMPG grant allocation directly supports emergency preparedness technology, and FEMA BRIC/HSGP funding is aligned to this initiative, reducing the local cost burden. Addressing these gaps now strengthens operational resilience, satisfies preparedness compliance expectations, and positions the county for continued grant eligibility in the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Isabella County relies on a countywide mass notification platform without court-specific internal alerting or a dedicated EOP/COOP, leaving critical gaps in emergency coordination. An active modernization initiative presents a timely opportunity to consolidate platforms and close preparedness gaps across county operations.
The opportunity
An ongoing mass notification modernization effort and available EMPG funding create a near-term window to advance EOC coordination and court-integrated alerting. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with state and federal public safety grant eligibility, strengthening resilience and reducing operational risk for residents and staff.

Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Isabella County's newly adopted IT Information Security Policy—effective August 4, 2025—establishes explicit account and password requirements, yet no password management tooling is currently in place. This gap creates a direct, time-bound compliance mandate with operational risk to county systems and data.
The opportunity
The August 4, 2025 deadline drives immediate action, and the FY26 COPS TEP grant explicitly permits software and technology purchases, offering a viable funding path. Addressing this now reduces audit exposure, strengthens security posture, and aligns with the county's active procurement cycle.

Court Technology · Compliance Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The District Court faces a mandated electronic filing requirement effective June 2025, requiring document accessibility and workflow solutions to be in place. Without timely action, the court risks non-compliance, disrupted case processing, and reduced public access to court services.
The opportunity
The June 2025 compliance deadline creates a defined procurement window aligned with current fiscal planning cycles. Addressing this now ensures uninterrupted court operations, supports equitable public access to legal processes, and may align with available state technology or justice modernization funding.
