Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Risk Remediation
Emergency Management · NIMS Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for review, creating critical compliance and operational risk for the department. Without an updated EOP, the agency faces potential loss of federal emergency management funding tied to NIMS compliance requirements, while leadership remains actively engaged in hazard mitigation and community preparedness initiatives.
The opportunity
Dedicated federal grant programs—including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG—provide viable funding paths to address this gap, and Oakland County's proposed FY2027 budget increase signals available investment capacity. Acting within the current planning cycle reduces NIMS funding risk, strengthens operational readiness, and protects the community's emergency response infrastructure.
Mass Notification Modernization & Cyber Resilience
Emergency Management · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A targeted cyberattack on the existing mass notification system has created critical gaps in the county's ability to alert staff and residents during emergencies. Combined with a reported 2023 data breach, these incidents expose systemic vulnerabilities in public safety communications infrastructure that require immediate remediation.
The opportunity
The cyberattack creates immediate urgency to harden and modernize emergency communications before the next incident or compliance review. Federal grant programs including HSGP and EMPG are aligned to this project type, and cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use enable a streamlined procurement path within the current fiscal cycle.
Cybersecurity Posture Consolidation and Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A confirmed 2023 data breach and a fragmented IT security environment with overlapping technologies have left unresolved vulnerabilities across the organization. Active IT budget planning signals leadership urgency to consolidate and strengthen the security posture before further compliance or operational exposure occurs.
The opportunity
A proposed FY2027 budget increase and explicitly matched cybersecurity grant funding create a near-term window to address documented risks and modernize security infrastructure. Acting within the current planning cycle reduces breach recurrence risk, supports compliance obligations, and strengthens stewardship of public data.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has documented recurring fleet accidents and significantly over-budget insurance costs, signaling measurable safety and fiscal risk. Active planning for fire apparatus replacement and fleet operations modernization indicates this is a near-term operational priority.
The opportunity
Documented financial overruns and active fleet replacement planning create a compelling case for action within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements are already in place, and potential EV-related federal funding may further offset modernization costs.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
WCAG compliance is a standing mandate with unresolved accessibility gaps in existing digital portals, creating legal exposure and inequitable access for residents. Without remediation, the organization remains at risk of complaints, audits, and failure to meet federal accessibility standards.
The opportunity
A healthy FY2027 budget outlook creates a timely window to invest in digital services modernization and close persistent accessibility gaps. Addressing WCAG compliance now reduces legal risk, improves equitable service delivery, and aligns with active IT planning cycles.
