Emergency Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates multiple disconnected emergency notification systems, creating fragmentation and operational inefficiency that undermines coordinated response. Documented preparedness gaps—including no verified EOP review or confirmed mass notification status—expose the entity to EMPG compliance and readiness risk.
The opportunity
Active EMPG compliance mandates and an ongoing EOP review create immediate urgency, while BRIC and HSGP grant funding provide a clear path to address these gaps with limited local match. Acting within the current grant cycle accelerates consolidation, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens community emergency response outcomes.
Emergency Operations Plan Review & Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Van Buren County lacks publicly documented EOP review history or after-action findings, signaling a significant gap in emergency preparedness posture. EMPG compliance mandates and overdue EOP review requirements elevate operational and regulatory risk for county staff and residents.
The opportunity
Active grant cycles, including BRIC and HSGP, provide viable funding pathways with limited local match requirements. Addressing compliance gaps now reduces audit exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with current fiscal planning windows.
Endpoint Management Modernization and PC Refresh
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's current endpoint management environment presents modernization gaps alongside an active PC refresh initiative and an upcoming content management system contract renewal. Aging or fragmented endpoint controls elevate cybersecurity risk, particularly as cyber liability insurance renewal signals heightened scrutiny of security posture.
The opportunity
Active procurement cycles — including the PC refresh and contract renewal — create a near-term window to consolidate and modernize endpoint management cost-effectively. HSGP funding may be applicable to cybersecurity and IT infrastructure, offering a potential grant-funded path that aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
Web Accessibility & ADA Document Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Active ADA/WCAG 2.1 compliance work is in final stages, with existing document management tools in use, yet unresolved gaps persist as a legal liability and public-facing risk. Failure to fully remediate exposes the entity to complaints, litigation, and inequitable access to public services.
The opportunity
With remediation already underway, closing remaining compliance gaps now minimizes legal exposure and aligns with the current fiscal cycle before the mandate becomes an enforcement issue. Expanding existing tools and workflows is a low-friction, cost-efficient path to full compliance and equitable public access.
Strengthen Cybersecurity Controls and Credential Management
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An upcoming cyber liability insurance renewal requires the entity to demonstrate robust, documented security controls to maintain coverage. Without modernized credential management and cybersecurity practices, the organization faces coverage risk and broader IT security exposure.
The opportunity
The insurance renewal cycle creates immediate urgency to strengthen security posture, and HSGP funding has been identified as a potentially applicable grant pathway for cybersecurity and IT investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance, reduces operational risk, and leverages available public funding.
Fleet Telematics Integration for Transit & Public Safety Vehicles
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Active vehicle replacement and fire engine acquisition are underway with no dedicated telematics solution in place, creating visibility and accountability gaps across the fleet. Existing MDT modems lack integration with a fleet management platform, limiting operational oversight for both transit and public safety assets.
The opportunity
A public safety grant allocation (~$50K) and active procurement cycles create a timely, low-friction entry point for fleet telematics adoption. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement, and aligning this investment with current vehicle acquisitions avoids costly retrofits later.
