Emergency Communication & Mass Notification Enhancement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A severe weather event in October 2025 exposed critical gaps in the county's emergency communication and business continuity capabilities, despite an existing mass notification system whose effectiveness is now in question. Michigan's EOP review requirement and a high emergency preparedness gap score signal unmet compliance obligations and elevated risk to residents and essential services.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant programs directly fund emergency management equipment and mass notification improvements, and the upcoming FY2026 budget approval cycle creates an active window for action. Addressing these gaps now strengthens compliance posture, reduces operational risk, and ensures communities receive timely, reliable alerts during critical incidents.
Emergency Operations Plan Review & Formalization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A Michigan state mandate requires a formal EOP review, and recent storm incidents have exposed critical gaps in communication, coordination, and business continuity. Without updated documentation and coordination frameworks, the county faces elevated compliance risk and reduced capacity to protect residents during emergencies.
The opportunity
The Michigan EOP mandate creates a non-discretionary, time-bound driver, and the FY2026 budget cycle presents a near-term window for action. HSGP and BRIC grant programs offer eligible funding pathways, reducing local fiscal burden while advancing preparedness outcomes for the community.
Web Accessibility & Digital Communications Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Wexford County has identified gaps in website accessibility that conflict with WCAG and ADA mandates, exposing the county to legal and compliance risk. Community-driven priorities for improved digital communications further underscore the need for accessible, modernized public-facing portals.
The opportunity
The FY2026 budget cycle and an active IT procurement environment signal strong timing to address these compliance gaps now. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell and MiDEAL can streamline acquisition, reducing administrative burden and accelerating remediation.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented multi-vendor IT environment has left endpoint management and credential security controls inconsistent and exposed. SLCGP compliance mandates require unified security controls, and gaps in password and access management elevate risk to county systems and public data.
The opportunity
The JAG program offers a viable funding pathway for cybersecurity and IT management improvements, and the active FY2026 budget approval process creates a near-term window for action. Addressing these gaps now reduces audit and compliance risk while strengthening operational continuity for county services.
