EOP Development and Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an undocumented EOP, no county-wide mass notification system, and a non-operational courthouse generator with an 11–12 week parts lead time. Fragmented communication channels and overdue NIMS and HSEEP compliance requirements elevate operational and regulatory risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
A congressional funding request for an Emergency and Essential Operations Center is active, and FEMA HSGP/BRIC grant cycles align with the county's Hazard Mitigation Plan and Master Plan 2025. Acting now positions the county to secure available funding, close compliance gaps, and strengthen coordinated emergency response before the next fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Critical Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The county's courthouse generator is non-operational, creating a direct gap in continuity of operations during emergencies. Combined with an undocumented EOP status and the absence of a county-wide mass notification system, these deficiencies elevate risk and jeopardize NIMS compliance and preparedness-fund eligibility.
The opportunity
A congressional funding request for the Emergency & Essential Operations Center signals active budget intent and political momentum, opening a time-sensitive procurement window. Advancing this project now aligns with federal hazard mitigation planning cycles, FEMA grant eligibility, and NIMS/HSEEP compliance requirements—strengthening public safety outcomes before the next emergency event.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Keweenaw County lacks an enterprise password management solution despite conducting a cybersecurity tabletop exercise, indicating awareness of cyber risk without corresponding controls in place. With an annual IT and software spend of just $2,350, the gap between risk exposure and current investment poses significant operational and data security risk to county systems and staff.
The opportunity
Grant programs such as SLCGP offer eligible funding pathways for cybersecurity improvements, reducing the burden on constrained local budgets. Transitional leadership and demonstrated cyber risk awareness create a timely opening to advance foundational security controls ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & GIS Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active GIS website update underway, with WCAG/ADA compliance obligations creating legal exposure and public access risk for residents. Leadership has acknowledged the gap, but broader digital property compliance remains incomplete, elevating liability across public-facing platforms.
The opportunity
The current GIS initiative signals budget willingness and project momentum, creating a natural entry point to expand accessibility compliance across all public-facing digital properties. Acting within this cycle reduces legal risk, supports equitable public access, and aligns with existing project timelines and funding activity.
