Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a local EOP annex, has an open emergency management staff vacancy, and faces mass notification enrollment gaps — with no standalone mitigation plan in place. A recent state of emergency and tornado event have elevated operational risk, and a newly appointed Emergency Manager signals active re-evaluation of existing systems and priorities.
The opportunity
Multiple grant programs with near-term deadlines — including homeland security and hazard mitigation funding streams — directly support emergency management modernization with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with the new Emergency Manager's mandate and existing public safety budget allocations, accelerating both compliance and community resilience outcomes.
Endpoint Security and Antivirus Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active initiative to re-evaluate and streamline its endpoint protection and antivirus environment, coinciding with an IT department reorganization. Aging or fragmented endpoint security increases exposure to cyber threats and complicates compliance with evolving public-sector cybersecurity standards.
The opportunity
Ongoing IT restructuring and active procurement discussions create a near-term window to advance endpoint security modernization. Cybersecurity investments of this type may be eligible for grant funding aligned with the current cycle, and cooperative purchasing agreements can reduce procurement burden and timeline for public entities.
Strengthen Cybersecurity Incident Response and Credential Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active cybersecurity incident response initiative and a pending security funding request, with password management tooling already in use. An ongoing IT reorganization and audit findings elevate operational risk, making credential security and incident readiness a compliance and continuity priority.
The opportunity
A near-term security funding request and alignment with grants such as HSGP and JAG create a timely window to advance cybersecurity capabilities with reduced local cost burden. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports decision-making momentum and strengthens the county's security posture ahead of potential audit scrutiny.
Website Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Audit findings have identified website performance issues and ADA/WCAG accessibility gaps across public-facing portals, limiting equitable access to government services. Active redevelopment initiatives are already underway, creating a defined procurement window to address compliance gaps and reduce legal exposure.
The opportunity
Ongoing redevelopment efforts and audit-driven urgency align this project with the current fiscal planning cycle, and cooperative purchasing vehicles may simplify and accelerate procurement. Remediating accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk, strengthens public trust, and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.

Emergency Management · Hazard Mitigation
High Priority
About this project
Eaton County has identified a Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan as a formal strategic initiative, with recent events—including a declared state of emergency and a tornado—underscoring the urgency of a locally-anchored mitigation framework. Without a completed plan, the county faces elevated operational risk and potential gaps in eligibility for federal preparedness funding.
The opportunity
BRIC grant funding is directly aligned with hazard mitigation planning and carries upcoming application deadlines, creating a time-sensitive window to secure federal support with limited local match. Acting within the current grant cycle also allows this effort to be coordinated alongside related emergency preparedness initiatives, maximizing funding efficiency and community resilience outcomes.
