Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for review per Michigan guidance, with no documented full-scale exercises, after-action reviews, or elected official trainings in recent years. NIMS compliance is required to maintain federal preparedness funding eligibility, and local incidents including a residential fire and dam failure have further elevated operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Active federal funding through the Homeland Security Grant Program and BRIC program explicitly supports emergency management planning and alerting infrastructure, creating a clear and immediate funding path. Addressing compliance gaps now protects continued federal eligibility, strengthens community response readiness, and aligns with current grant cycles before procurement windows close.
Mass Notification System Upgrade and Procurement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified a critical gap in emergency communication capability, with its current mass notification system requiring upgrade or replacement and its Emergency Operations Plan overdue for review per state guidance. NIMS compliance obligations and the absence of documented exercises elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Procurement is actively underway with a target of early 2027, and Homeland Security grant funding has been identified as a viable path with cooperative purchasing available to streamline acquisition. Acting within the current planning cycle ensures compliance, strengthens community alerting capability, and maximizes available federal funding alignment.
Panic Button & Emergency Alerting System Installation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Active discussions are underway to install a panic button and emergency alerting system to close critical rapid-response communication gaps. Homeland Security funding has been identified, and overdue EOP compliance mandates elevate the urgency for immediate action.
The opportunity
Identified federal funding and an active procurement stage create a clear, near-term path to close this project within the current grant window. Acting now addresses compliance gaps, strengthens emergency response readiness, and improves safety outcomes for staff and the public.
Fleet Safety and Driver Behavior Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has recorded 53 deer collisions since 2019 and multiple vehicle accidents, driving a documented $13,553 increase in insurance costs. These incidents signal measurable gaps in driver behavior monitoring and incident response capabilities that elevate operational and financial risk.
The opportunity
Rising insurance costs and a documented accident history create a quantifiable case for fleet safety investment within the current fiscal planning cycle. Implementing driver monitoring and telematics capabilities can reduce incident frequency, lower long-term liability, and support responsible stewardship of public funds.
