Emergency Operations Plan Development and Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Arenac County lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, recent HSEEP-style exercises, and verifiable mass notification assurance—creating significant compliance exposure tied to EOP and Hazard Mitigation Plan review mandates. These gaps undermine interoperability requirements and leave residents and staff without a validated preparedness posture.
The opportunity
A dedicated $260,000 annual budget for emergency management technology, combined with alignment to federal grant cycles including JAG, TEP, and HSGP, creates a clear and timely funding pathway. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance risk, strengthens community resilience, and positions the county ahead of the next review cycle.
Mass Notification System Modernization for Emergency Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification platform has a documented visibility and assurance gap, with no confirmed validation that it meets interoperability and notification standards required by emergency management compliance mandates. The absence of a publicly available EOP and lack of recent exercises compound operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Dedicated 9-1-1 funding increases and an identified $260,000 public safety tech budget create near-term headroom to act. Grants aligned to emergency communications and mass notification—including HSGP and JAG—are available, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Update & Emergency Exercise Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Hazard Mitigation Plan is under mandated review cycles, and the absence of recent HSEEP-style exercises creates measurable gaps in both planning documentation and operational readiness. Without validated preparedness protocols, the county faces elevated compliance and public safety risk.
The opportunity
A May 2025 E-911 contract action signals active emergency procurement engagement, and aligned grant programs such as HSGP offer viable funding paths with limited local match. Addressing preparedness gaps now supports compliance, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the current fiscal and grant cycle.
