Emergency Operations Plan Review & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is likely overdue for review, with no clear evidence of NIMS implementation or an active mass notification system, creating significant compliance and operational risk. The Emmet County Hazard Mitigation Plan further identifies resilience gaps, underscoring the urgency of strengthening emergency preparedness infrastructure.
The opportunity
A state-treasury-directed financial assessment is driving near-term fiscal accountability pressure, while a dedicated $55k+ annual budget for public safety technology and alignment with HSGP grant funding provide a clear path forward. Acting within the current grant window reduces compliance exposure and advances community resilience outcomes.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No confirmed mass notification system is in place, leaving staff and residents without a reliable emergency alert channel. The Emmet County Hazard Mitigation Plan explicitly recommends expanding regional notification participation, and overdue EOP review cycles compound compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The Hazard Mitigation Plan creates a documented strategic mandate, and HSGP grant alignment offers a viable funding pathway with potential for limited local match. Acting within the current grant cycle advances NIMS compliance, closes a critical preparedness gap, and strengthens community resilience.
Cybersecurity & Identity Management Hardening
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Emmet County Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies explicit cybersecurity gaps—including missing MFA, VPNs, and backup controls—with no evidence of NIMS-aligned implementation. Current security tools appear unmanaged or disconnected, elevating operational and compliance risk across the department.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program offers a documented funding path for cybersecurity components, and an active state-directed financial assessment increases urgency for near-term action. Addressing these gaps now aligns with the current budget cycle and reduces audit and compliance exposure.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Pilot Launch
Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
Operating in a rural environment without telematics or dashcam systems, the department lacks objective driver behavior data and incident documentation, creating moderate liability and operational risk. Without this visibility, defending claims or identifying safety trends remains difficult.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing contracts are confirmed available, reducing procurement complexity and accelerating deployment within the current budget cycle. Implementing a fleet safety solution now strengthens liability defensibility, improves driver accountability, and supports responsible stewardship of public assets.
