Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Gogebic County faces significant emergency preparedness gaps, including an overdue EOP review under Michigan's Publication 201 cycle, no documented HSEEP-style exercises, and recent severe weather declarations—all without confirmed emergency management technology in place. These gaps elevate operational, compliance, and public safety risk for county residents and staff.
The opportunity
The county's 911 dispatching contract expiration in September 2026 creates a high-urgency decision window for modernizing emergency management infrastructure. BRIC and HSGP grant pathways are available to fund eligible technology, making this an ideal moment to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Transit Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Transit Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's 7-bus transit fleet operates without telematics, in-vehicle video, or driver coaching tools, leaving the agency exposed to disputed liability claims and limited safety oversight. These gaps create measurable operational and compliance risk for a publicly funded transit service.
The opportunity
A confirmed FY26 transit capital award signals active fleet investment and aligns with FTA Section 5307/5339 funding pathways eligible for telematics modernization. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the county to reduce liability exposure, strengthen safety documentation, and maximize available federal and state funding.

Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's website and digital services only partially meet ADA accessibility requirements, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access for residents with disabilities. Leadership has acknowledged the gap, but compliance status remains unclear and remediation is not yet fully underway.
The opportunity
ADA digital accessibility is an active strategic priority, positioning the county to act within the current fiscal cycle before compliance exposure escalates. Addressing this now supports equitable public service delivery and may align with state or federal funding available for digital modernization initiatives.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Cybersecurity compliance status is currently unknown, with no disclosed security tooling in place, leaving county systems and sensitive data without verified protection. This gap elevates operational and regulatory risk, particularly as leadership transitions create potential vulnerabilities in institutional oversight.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG grant is an identified funding pathway for cybersecurity and endpoint management, aligning with the current grant cycle. Leadership transitions and a greenfield environment create a timely window to establish baseline protections and position the county for long-term compliance and resilience.
