Emergency Operations Plan Update & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity faces an overdue Emergency Operations Plan update alongside firm Michigan EOP review cycle and NIMS compliance mandates. Island-wide radio dead zones compound preparedness gaps, exposing residents to significant risk during emergencies and elevating regulatory exposure.
The opportunity
FY 2027 budget approval and available emergency management grant funding—including EMPG—create a clear, near-term path to address compliance and close critical preparedness gaps. Acting now reduces operational and regulatory risk while aligning with active funding windows eligible for this type of initiative.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification posture has critical gaps, including island-wide radio dead zones and an unclear local alerting capability, undermining reliable emergency communications. Overdue EOP review cycles and NIMS compliance mandates elevate operational and regulatory risk for residents and emergency personnel.
The opportunity
Capital funding already allocated for a Beaver Island communications tower signals leadership commitment and creates a near-term procurement window. Grant programs such as EMPG and HSGP offer eligible funding paths, and grant compliance mandates further reinforce urgency for technology modernization this fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The entity faces WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance expectations for its public-facing digital presence, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Identified gaps in the current CMS environment represent an unfulfilled mandate with growing risk of enforcement or litigation.
The opportunity
FY 2027 budget approval creates a near-term planning window to address compliance gaps before they escalate into legal or audit findings. This project is eligible for grant-aligned technology adoption and supports equitable, accessible service delivery for all residents.

Fleet & Asset Management · Airport Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The airport operates ground equipment tied to an active runway improvement project, creating an emerging need for structured fleet and asset management. No documented safety incidents currently exist, but capital infrastructure growth increases long-term operational and accountability risk without formal tracking in place.
The opportunity
The funded runway project and FY 2027 capital budget provide a natural anchor for introducing asset management capabilities alongside existing infrastructure investment. Establishing tracking and lifecycle management now positions the airport for stronger stewardship and audit readiness as operations scale.
