Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan, has no documented exercises or audits, and operates without a reliable mass notification system. These gaps create critical preparedness failures and compliance risk tied to NIMS implementation requirements and EOC planning mandates.
The opportunity
Active pursuit of Homeland Security Grant Program funding and the ongoing EOC project create a narrow, high-urgency window within the next 90 days to close preparedness gaps. Advancing this initiative now strengthens community resilience, satisfies compliance mandates, and aligns with available federal funding pathways.

Emergency Management · Hazard Mitigation
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively developing a Hazard Mitigation Plan alongside broader emergency operations initiatives, yet critical gaps remain — including the absence of a current EOP and unclear mass notification protocols. NIMS compliance requirements and EOC planning mandates elevate the urgency for formalizing risk reduction frameworks.
The opportunity
Active planning signals near-term readiness to act, and the Homeland Security Grant Program offers a viable funding pathway aligned to these initiatives. Advancing this work now supports NIMS compliance, strengthens community resilience, and positions the county to maximize current grant windows before the fiscal cycle closes.

Discuss this project →GIS Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The State of Michigan has flagged GIS website accessibility as a compliance gap, creating a regulatory mandate for remediation of public-facing digital services. Existing GIS infrastructure presents an opportunity to close accessibility gaps while maintaining continuity for residents who depend on these tools.
The opportunity
State-level compliance pressure and active operational pain around GIS accessibility elevate urgency ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Procurement can be advanced through established cooperative channels, reducing administrative burden and supporting timely, cost-effective remediation.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Documented maintenance costs, a limited fund balance, and the absence of fleet safety technology expose the county to growing operational and liability risk. No existing telematics or dash camera infrastructure is in place, leaving vehicles and the public without critical safety oversight.
The opportunity
A recent millage increase and targeted public safety spending signal available budget aligned to this need. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the county to leverage cooperative purchasing agreements, accelerating procurement while maximizing stewardship of public funds.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity and Endpoint Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active procurement for security upgrades and computer training is underway, with budget allocated toward IT security initiatives. NIMS compliance requirements and broader operational security risks reinforce the urgency for endpoint protection and credential management improvements.
The opportunity
An in-progress buying cycle and allocated budget signal readiness to act within the current fiscal window. The Homeland Security Grant Program offers a viable funding pathway, and cooperative contract vehicles are available to simplify and accelerate compliant procurement.

Discuss this project →Critical Infrastructure Generator Restoration
Emergency Management · Critical Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The county's primary backup generator is non-operational, creating a direct gap in emergency response continuity and public safety resilience. This critical infrastructure failure elevates operational risk during power outages or declared emergencies, with NIMS compliance and EOC readiness requirements adding further urgency.
The opportunity
A recent millage increase and active public safety spending priorities provide near-term budget justification for emergency capital remediation. Addressing this gap now supports compliance with state and federal emergency preparedness mandates and may align with available Homeland Security grant funding pathways.
