Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Galien Township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and a township-specific mass notification system, leaving residents dependent on county infrastructure amid recent tornado and severe weather events. County-level EM staffing transitions further elevate coordination risk and expose the township to critical operational and safety gaps.
The opportunity
A newly appointed county Emergency Management Coordinator signals openness to system evaluation, and active federal grant programs aligned with preparedness planning are currently available with limited local match requirements. Acting within this fiscal window positions the township to close critical safety gaps, strengthen resident outcomes, and leverage existing EM infrastructure investment momentum.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Michigan municipalities face a documented mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, yet no remediation plan is currently in place, leaving the county exposed to legal liability and limiting equitable access to public-facing digital services for all residents.
The opportunity
The absence of a remediation roadmap creates near-term legal and reputational risk that can be addressed through phased, risk-prioritized action. Aligning remediation efforts with the current fiscal cycle supports budget planning and positions the county to improve digital equity and public service delivery.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Unmonitored on-call and volunteer driving in rural areas creates liability and safety gaps for county fire and public works fleets. Active fleet procurement and the formation of a countywide transit authority signal growing operational complexity without consistent visibility or accountability tools in place.
The opportunity
Recent vehicle acquisitions and expanding transit initiatives create a timely entry point to standardize fleet oversight ahead of the next fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements may reduce procurement friction, and fleet safety investments can align with public safety grant eligibility to offset local costs.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure Modernization & Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county has budget-approved funding to identify technology gaps and deploy user-friendly software under an active IT and Cybersecurity Modernization initiative. Recent renewals and infrastructure upgrades signal an ongoing investment cycle, with endpoint visibility and management representing a key area of operational risk.
The opportunity
Existing infrastructure investments and broadband expansion create a timely entry point for endpoint and infrastructure management improvements within the current fiscal plan. With over $600K in confirmed annual IT and software spend, funding capacity is in place to advance modernization and reduce operational exposure now.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity and Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Berrien County's IT and Cybersecurity Modernization initiative has identified technology gaps, including credential management risks within an existing virtualized environment. No specific cybersecurity mandates were confirmed, but the absence of documented password policy controls elevates operational and data security risk for county staff and residents.
The opportunity
HSGP and JAG grant funding pathways are actively aligned to cybersecurity investments, and the county's healthy financial environment supports near-term procurement. Acting within the current grant window enables the county to close credential management gaps while maximizing available public funding.
