Emergency Operations Plan Compliance and Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is under a state mandate to develop a new Emergency Operations Plan aligned with Michigan EOP requirements and NIMS standards, while simultaneously navigating a 911 Director retirement that creates a critical leadership gap. The absence of a managed mass notification system compounds operational and public safety risk during active planning.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant programs with July 2026 deadlines provide a direct funding path for emergency management infrastructure, including mass notification and interoperable communications. Acting now aligns with active budget hearings and procurement cycles, reducing compliance exposure while strengthening community resilience.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county currently lacks a dedicated mass notification system, relying on email subscriptions — a significant gap as Hazard Mitigation Plan recommendations and a mandated new Emergency Operations Plan call for enhanced early warning and public alert capabilities. Without a reliable alerting infrastructure, residents and staff face elevated risk during emergencies.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 directly cover mass notification and interoperable communications, creating a time-sensitive funding alignment. Acting within the current cycle supports EOP compliance, closes a critical operational gap, and advances community safety outcomes with available public funding pathways.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's current public-facing website relies on a basic consumer platform that falls short of DOJ accessibility requirements, creating compliance exposure and limiting equitable access to government services. An active procurement process is underway, with a second reading scheduled for July 2026, signaling an advanced and time-sensitive decision stage.
The opportunity
With a procurement decision expected by July 2026, the window to align accessible digital infrastructure with both compliance mandates and active budget planning is immediate. Addressing this gap supports equitable public access, reduces legal risk, and may qualify for funding through cooperative procurement vehicles already in use by the county.

Emergency Management · Infrastructure Resilience
High Priority
About this project
The 911 board has identified a significant uninterruptible power supply (UPS) replacement need for critical emergency infrastructure. Without action, power disruptions pose direct risk to continuity of operations and public safety response capabilities during emergencies.
The opportunity
BRIC grant funding, which covers resilient infrastructure projects, carries a July 2026 deadline and may offset significant local costs. With active budget discussions already underway at the board level, this project is well-positioned for near-term approval and funding alignment.
