Emergency Operations Plan Development and Review
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a Corrections-Division-specific EOP, has no documented review history or exercise records, and faces active compliance obligations under Act 390 of 1976 and NIMS. Recent declared emergencies and a new Emergency Manager appointment underscore the urgency of closing these preparedness gaps.
The opportunity
A state of emergency declaration and FEMA preparedness grant funding create a clear pathway to act now, with the county's March 2026 technology request deadline anchoring near-term planning. Addressing EOP gaps ahead of the FY2026/27 cycle reduces compliance risk and strengthens community resilience.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county relies on a single incumbent mass notification platform without documented evaluation of alternatives, limiting operational flexibility across divisions including corrections. Compliance mandates under state and federal emergency management guidance require a current, tested Emergency Operations Plan—gaps in review documentation and division-specific coverage elevate risk.
The opportunity
A recent state of emergency declaration and new Emergency Manager appointment create a timely review point for existing notification capabilities. Federal preparedness grants and justice assistance funding provide viable pathways to modernize, consolidate, or integrate notification tools ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
FEMA Preparedness Grants
Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively pursuing cybersecurity improvements—including antivirus updates and new email infrastructure—but lacks identified vendors for cybersecurity or credential management. A $414,351 federal security grant received in May 2026 includes a cybersecurity evaluation component, creating both a funding mandate and an accountability requirement.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines tied to JAG and COPS FY26 TEP in July 2026 compress the planning window, making near-term action essential. Addressing credential and cybersecurity gaps now aligns with active county initiatives, satisfies grant evaluation requirements, and reduces operational risk ahead of the next budget cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county's IT environment is actively evolving—with antivirus updates and new infrastructure rollouts underway—but lacks a confirmed unified endpoint or remote management solution. This gap increases exposure to cyber threats and limits IT staff's ability to monitor, manage, and secure county devices at scale.
The opportunity
JAG and COPS FY26 TEP grant deadlines in July 2026 explicitly support IT and cybersecurity tooling, providing a near-term funding pathway. A recently received federal cybersecurity grant and the county's active FY2026/27 technology planning cycle make this an ideal window to close the endpoint management gap.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Vehicle Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Documented incidents involving patrol vehicles have exposed a critical gap: no on-vehicle video or telematics solution is currently in place, leaving the county without data to support accountability, liability management, or operational oversight of its fleet.
The opportunity
JAG and COPS FY26 TEP funding may apply to fleet safety technology, and the county's active procurement cycle — with technology request deadlines in March 2026 — creates a timely window to advance this initiative through cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Civic Technology
High Priority
About this project
Eaton County has an active initiative to redevelop public-facing web pages, with ADA/WCAG compliance identified as a stated operational responsibility. Gaps in digital accessibility create legal exposure and limit equitable access to county services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Active web redevelopment planning signals an open procurement window aligned with current budget cycles, making this an ideal moment to address compliance and reduce legal risk. Investments in accessible digital infrastructure support equitable service delivery and may qualify for state digital equity or technology modernization funding.
