Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Custer Fire Department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, HSEEP-style exercises, After Action Reviews, and clear mass-notification governance. NIMS implementation requirements and Michigan's EOP review cycle create urgent compliance mandates that risk federal funding eligibility.
The opportunity
Grant programs explicitly funding emergency management technology and planning carry upcoming deadlines, offering a realistic budget path with limited local match required. Acting within the current cycle addresses compliance risk, strengthens community response readiness, and protects continued federal funding eligibility.
Mass Notification Governance and System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass-notification system lacks clearly defined governance at the local fire authority level, creating gaps in reliable public alerting and emergency communications. Undefined ownership elevates operational and public safety risk, and NIMS compliance requirements tied to federal funding eligibility add urgency to resolving this gap.
The opportunity
EMPG and HSGP grant cycles explicitly fund interoperable communications and emergency notification technology, offering a direct funding pathway with upcoming deadlines. Acting now aligns with active budget planning timelines and positions the jurisdiction to meet federal compliance mandates while strengthening community-wide alerting capabilities.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization for Fire Operations
Fleet Safety · Fire & EMS Operations
High Priority
About this project
The department currently operates without telematics or dash-cam systems, leaving roadside response and ambulance operations exposure unaddressed. These gaps increase liability, limit incident review capability, and reduce the department's ability to improve driver behavior and document operational risk.
The opportunity
An August 2025 ballot proposal to fund Rural Fire Authority operations and equipment creates a near-term fiscal window aligned with fleet safety investment. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to simplify procurement, and acting within this budget cycle supports both cost stewardship and operational readiness goals.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
This department lacks enterprise password management and remote monitoring and management tooling, and relies on consumer-grade email rather than a secured platform. These gaps leave critical systems and sensitive data exposed, creating measurable cybersecurity risk for staff and the public they serve.
The opportunity
EMPG and HSGP grant programs explicitly fund IT and cybersecurity improvements, offering a viable funding pathway with upcoming deadlines that align with current budget planning cycles. Addressing foundational IT hygiene now reduces operational risk, supports federal funding eligibility, and establishes a defensible security baseline.
Personnel Management Software Procurement
Workforce Administration · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department is actively evaluating a personnel management software solution within a defined procurement window, signaling readiness to modernize workforce administration. Without a timely decision, operational inefficiencies in staff management and compliance tracking may persist into the next budget cycle.
The opportunity
An active procurement cycle with a defined acceptance deadline creates an immediate decision window, while upcoming budget review meetings in July 2026 offer a secondary fiscal planning signal. Acting now positions the department to align technology adoption with available funding and operational priorities.
