Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Regional Authority Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has experienced severe flooding with documented response delays, and relies solely on a county-level mass notification system without local documentation. NIMS and Michigan Emergency Management Act mandates require a formalized local EOP, and a proposed multi-township intergovernmental emergency authority agreement further elevates the urgency for updated operations infrastructure.
The opportunity
A recent Public Safety Revenue Sharing disbursement and active federal grant windows—including HSGP and NGWSGP with 2026 deadlines—provide direct funding pathways for EOP modernization. With FY27 budget workshops already scheduled ahead of a July 1 cycle open, the timing is ideal to advance compliance, close preparedness gaps, and strengthen regional coordination.
Mass Notification & Communications Resilience
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department relies on a county-level mass notification system with no local control or documentation, creating critical gaps in emergency response capability. The Wexford County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan mandates strategies for mass notification resilience, and a proposed intergovernmental agreement for a regional emergency authority further elevates the operational risk of the current dependency.
The opportunity
HSGP and NGWSGP grant deadlines in 2026 provide a funded, time-sensitive path to address local notification gaps. A Public Safety Revenue Sharing disbursement and the opening of the FY27 budget cycle on July 1, 2026 create near-term windows to advance procurement and strengthen community-level emergency response.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
State-mandated WCAG 2.1 AA compliance applies to all public-facing digital properties, with a hard deadline of April 24, 2026. Non-compliance creates legal exposure and limits equitable public access to government services and information.
The opportunity
The April 2026 deadline creates a firm, non-negotiable window for remediation, making early action critical to avoid legal risk and service disruption. This project aligns with current FY planning cycles and may be eligible for cooperative procurement vehicles that accelerate delivery.

Cybersecurity · IT Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a fragmented, multi-vendor IT environment with gaps in endpoint management and credential security, increasing exposure to cyber threats. HSGP funding has been identified as a potential source for cybersecurity solutions, signaling both urgency and a viable path to remediation.
The opportunity
A Public Safety Revenue Sharing disbursement received in May 2026 and the opening of the FY27 budget cycle on July 1, 2026 create a near-term funding window. Consolidating fragmented infrastructure now reduces operational risk, supports compliance, and delivers strong ROI for public safety stakeholders.
