Hazard Mitigation Plan Update & FEMA Grant Eligibility
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's Hazard Mitigation Plan is six years old, exceeding Michigan's 2–4 year review standard, and an active RFQ deadline of December 2025 signals urgent procurement. Without an updated plan in place by May 2026, the county risks losing eligibility for federal emergency management funding.
The opportunity
Budget amendments explicitly earmarking funds for 911 and Emergency Management Services provide a clear funding path, and the project aligns with the current fiscal and grant cycle. Acting now protects FEMA grant eligibility, satisfies state compliance mandates, and advances the county's top stated emergency preparedness priority.
Emergency Operations Plan Review and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Michigan's 4-year EOP review mandate creates an active compliance obligation for the county, compounded by an expiring 911 dispatch contract and an overdue Hazard Mitigation Plan that risks FEMA grant eligibility. Failure to act jeopardizes operational continuity, interagency coordination, and access to critical emergency management funding.
The opportunity
A convergence of compliance deadlines, a 911 dispatch transition, and recent budget amendments for Emergency Management Services creates a well-timed opening to modernize preparedness capabilities. Addressing this now protects FEMA grant eligibility, strengthens public safety outcomes, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current public alerting system faces an uncertain contract renewal status, creating operational risk and a potential gap in emergency notification coverage. The 2021–2026 Hazard Mitigation Plan explicitly prioritizes mass-notification modernization, and an overdue EOP review cycle elevates both compliance and FEMA grant eligibility risk.
The opportunity
Recent budget amendments earmarked for Emergency Management Services, combined with an active Hazard Mitigation Plan grant window closing in early 2026, create a near-term funding pathway with strong alignment to current fiscal planning. Acting now protects grant eligibility, closes a critical alerting gap, and strengthens community-wide emergency response continuity.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's 911 dispatching contract expires in September 2026, requiring an active provider transition that creates significant operational risk if not managed proactively. Compliance mandates—including an overdue Hazard Mitigation Plan and local EOP review requirements—compound urgency and threaten continued FEMA grant eligibility.
The opportunity
Explicit budget amendments for 911 and Emergency Management Services confirm allocated funding, and the contract expiration deadline drives immediate procurement action. Addressing this now protects FEMA grant eligibility, satisfies state compliance requirements, and strengthens integrated EOC and dispatch coordination ahead of the fiscal deadline.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & In-Vehicle Safety Modernization
Public Safety · Fleet Operations
High Priority
About this project
The sheriff's office lacks a confirmed in-vehicle video or telematics solution, creating limited visibility into fleet operations and exposing the agency to unresolved liability risk. Without documented vehicle data, operational accountability and risk management remain difficult to substantiate.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) explicitly supports vehicle and fleet technology purchases, offering a clear funding path with minimal local budget impact. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses liability exposure and strengthens operational oversight of public safety assets.
