Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Huron County lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has an unverified mass notification system, creating significant NIMS compliance and operational safety gaps. These deficiencies elevate risk to residents and first responders and require immediate remediation.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program represents a near-term funding pathway with strong alignment to this initiative, reducing local budget burden. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses compliance mandates, closes critical preparedness gaps, and strengthens community resilience.
Mass Notification System Assessment & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system's operational status is unknown, creating a critical gap in emergency communications for the fire department and surrounding community. This deficiency compounds broader emergency preparedness shortfalls, including the absence of a publicly available EOP, elevating NIMS compliance and life-safety risk.
The opportunity
HSGP funding is a viable pathway for this initiative, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement within current budget cycles. Resolving this gap now advances NIMS compliance, strengthens community-wide emergency readiness, and reduces operational and liability exposure ahead of the next severe weather season.
Securing Endpoints and Identities Across a Fragmented IT Environment
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Staff reliance on consumer-grade email services and the absence of enterprise identity or endpoint management creates significant cybersecurity exposure. Unmanaged devices and weak credential practices leave public systems and sensitive data vulnerable to breach or disruption.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program funding may extend to cybersecurity and IT preparedness tools, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational risk and positions the entity for stronger compliance and resilience outcomes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing website has identified WCAG and ADA compliance gaps that restrict resident access to critical government information and create legal exposure. Non-compliance with federal accessibility mandates poses ongoing risk to equitable service delivery and public trust.
The opportunity
Compliance mandates make this a non-discretionary priority, and remediation can be staged by severity to align with available budget cycles. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may simplify procurement, reducing time-to-compliance and lowering the cost burden on public funds.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's fleet lacks telematics instrumentation, creating measurable safety risks and contributing to municipal insurance cost pressure. Ongoing capital investment in fire apparatus highlights the gap between asset value and operational visibility.
The opportunity
Recent capital improvement approvals and budget adoption open a viable funding pathway for fleet safety technology, with cooperative purchasing options available to streamline procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces insurance exposure and strengthens driver and public safety outcomes.
