Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance Review
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Carsonville VFD lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, creating direct compliance risk under MCL 380.1308b and MI EMHSD's 4-year planning cycle mandate. Non-compliance exposes the department to loss of grant eligibility, increased liability, and gaps in formal incident documentation following recent emergencies.
The opportunity
Active grant applications and Michigan FY2026–27 public safety funding—including state competitive grants and volunteer fire department awards—create a near-term window to address compliance and preparedness gaps. Acting now protects grant eligibility, reduces liability exposure, and positions the department for sustainable emergency management investment.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Carsonville VFD lacks a verified, department-level mass notification capability, and current county-wide emergency notification coverage gaps create measurable risk for dispatch reliability and public safety outcomes. With no publicly documented After Action Reviews and an EOP review cycle under Michigan compliance mandates, the department faces both operational and grant-eligibility exposure.
The opportunity
The county's active renewal of its emergency notification contract confirms an existing budget and defined need, creating a timely window to address department-level gaps. FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grants and Michigan FY2026–27 public safety competitive funding align directly with this investment, and cooperative procurement vehicles are available to streamline the process.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates agency vehicles, including utility and transport units, with no documented dash camera or telematics program in place. Public concern over vehicle speeds through town signals a reputational, liability, and safety risk that warrants proactive intervention.
The opportunity
Active grant applications and FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant funding create a timely pathway to implement fleet safety technology with limited local match required. Cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement, and alignment with FY2026–27 public safety funding strengthens the case for action now.

Discuss this project →Website ADA Compliance & Digital Accessibility Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a federally mandated 2027 deadline to bring public-facing digital properties into ADA compliance, creating a defined regulatory timeline with legal and reputational risk for non-compliance. Unresolved accessibility gaps limit equitable public access to government information and services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2027 compliance deadline makes proactive remediation a near-term budget priority, with procurement potentially eligible through cooperative purchasing vehicles that streamline acquisition. Acting ahead of the deadline reduces legal exposure, supports equitable service delivery, and allows costs to be planned within upcoming fiscal cycles.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Identity Access Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department is actively implementing security mandates—including two-factor authentication and 90-day password rotation—alongside a .gov domain migration, signaling an in-progress but incomplete security posture. Without visibility into IT spend, scoping and resourcing this initiative presents budget planning risk.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG program is open for 2026 and explicitly funds computer technology and equipment for public safety, offering a direct pathway to offset cybersecurity costs. Acting within the current grant window aligns procurement with compliance timelines and reduces exposure before mandates are fully enforced.
