Municipal Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The municipality lacks a publicly available EOP and has no documented record of HSEEP-compliant exercises, creating measurable gaps in emergency preparedness and continuity. NIMS implementation and EMPG funding eligibility requirements remain unresolved, elevating compliance and operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
An approved EMPG grant for FY 2025 and alignment with FEMA HSGP and BRIC funding paths create a near-term window to close preparedness gaps with available public safety dollars. The active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and a dedicated $369,827 emergency management tech spend signal strong readiness to act within the current fiscal period.
Municipal Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The municipality currently depends on county-level infrastructure for mass notification, limiting direct control and reliability during emergencies. Combined with the absence of a municipal EOP and unmet NIMS and EMPG compliance requirements, this gap elevates operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle, dedicated emergency management tech spend, and FEMA grant eligibility create a timely procurement window. Cooperative purchasing options support a streamlined path to close critical preparedness gaps and meet compliance mandates.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Ongoing WCAG 2.1 requirements for the public-facing website reveal unresolved digital accessibility gaps, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable resident access to government services. Without remediation, the entity faces continued compliance risk and potential civil liability.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 operating budget process presents a timely funding alignment for this initiative, with no active procurement yet underway. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal risk, advances equitable service delivery, and positions the project for inclusion in the upcoming fiscal cycle.
Public Safety Infrastructure and Emergency Readiness Expansion
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Bay County has secured a $2 million grant for a new fire station alongside capital allocations for dispatch radios and dive, search, and rescue equipment, yet critical gaps remain—including no municipal EOP, no dedicated mass-notification system, and no documented HSEEP-style exercises—elevating compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Approved grant funding and active FY capital budgets create an immediate, funded procurement window aligned with NIMS compliance and EMPG eligibility requirements. Acting now closes preparedness gaps, strengthens community safety outcomes, and positions the county to maximize current and upcoming grant cycles.
