Hazard Mitigation Plan Update & Federal Grant Compliance
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a non-deferrable deadline to update its Hazard Mitigation Plan, with compliance required to maintain eligibility for federal emergency management funding. Failure to complete the update on time would disqualify the county from critical grant streams that fund preparedness infrastructure and public warning capabilities.
The opportunity
Budget is already approved and the compliance deadline is immediate, making this a near-term, low-barrier engagement with clear fiscal stakes. Completing the plan update unlocks eligibility for federal hazard mitigation and preparedness grants, directly strengthening community resilience and continuity of emergency operations.
Public Warning & Mass Notification Expansion
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including low public awareness, minimal NIXLE enrollment, and limited warning capabilities when cell service is unavailable. The Emergency Operations Plan status remains unclear, leaving residents and staff without reliable notification during weather events or other emergencies.
The opportunity
Updating and expanding public warning capabilities is a high-priority strategic initiative with a defined budget pathway. BRIC and HSGP grant funding explicitly covers mass-notification and EOC equipment, and the active Hazard Mitigation Plan update cycle creates a compliance-aligned window to act now.
Fleet Telematics & Liability Risk Mitigation
Fleet Management · Public Liability & Risk
High Priority
About this project
An active lawsuit involving a county-owned vehicle has exposed critical gaps in fleet oversight, including insufficient telematics and in-vehicle camera coverage needed to document incidents and support liability defense. Without this infrastructure, the county remains exposed to ongoing legal and financial risk.
The opportunity
Active litigation creates real urgency to strengthen fleet safety and evidence-capture capabilities before additional incidents occur. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to accelerate procurement, and this investment aligns with responsible stewardship of public funds and risk reduction goals.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces active software renewals and an existing cybersecurity footprint with potential integration gaps, while overall IT investment remains limited. Without modernized endpoint and credential management, the county risks unmanaged vulnerabilities across its infrastructure and staff access points.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to simplify and accelerate procurement within the current fiscal cycle, reducing administrative burden. Addressing endpoint and credential management now aligns with the county's stated priority of continued technological advancement and strengthens its broader security posture.

Discuss this project →GIS & Geospatial Capability Development for Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Management · GIS & Geospatial Services
High Priority
About this project
Midland County's newly established GIS coordinator role signals a commitment to building geospatial capabilities that support emergency management mapping and Hazard Mitigation Plan compliance. Gaps in public warning coverage and preparedness infrastructure elevate operational and federal grant eligibility risk.
The opportunity
The Hazard Mitigation Plan update deadline and alignment with federal grant programs such as BRIC and HSGP create a time-sensitive window to formalize geospatial investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the county to meet compliance requirements and strengthen community resilience with dedicated emergency management funding already in place.
