Emergency Operations Plan Development & After-Action Review
Emergency Management · Compliance & Grant Readiness
High Priority
About this project
Marquette County Central Dispatch lacks a current EOP and has not completed after-action reviews following major April/May 2026 flooding events, exposing critical preparedness gaps. Active NIMS, EMPG, and EOP review mandates remain unmet, and federal grant reimbursements have been paused due to audit triggers.
The opportunity
State and FEMA emergency declarations increase eligibility for external funding, and HSGP grant deadlines in July 2026 create a narrow window to act. Addressing these gaps now restores compliance standing, unlocks reimbursements, and strengthens the county's capacity to protect residents during future emergencies.
CAD System Replacement & EOC Coordination Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county's current CAD system presents critical operational gaps in dispatch and EOC coordination, with a firm October 2026 replacement deadline and a $225,000 budget allocation identified. Integration with emergency management and incident management platforms is required, and compliance mandates including NIMS and EMPG alignment—alongside paused federal grant reimbursements—elevate urgency for all stakeholders.
The opportunity
With budget allocated, a procurement window closing in October 2026, and active HSGP grant funding applicable to EOC and emergency management upgrades, the conditions for action are in place now. Advancing this project strengthens dispatch continuity, restores federal reimbursement eligibility, and aligns with current fiscal and grant cycles.
911 Recording System Compliance Upgrade by October 2026
Public Safety Communications · Dispatch Operations
High Priority
About this project
Marquette County Central Dispatch must complete a mandatory upgrade to its audio and radio recording system by October 2026 to maintain uninterrupted capture of 911 and dispatch communications. Failure to act risks loss of critical recording capabilities, creating serious operational continuity and compliance exposure for dispatch operations.
The opportunity
The October 2026 deadline is fixed, making this a near-term, non-deferrable procurement aligned with an allocated $79,000 budget increase for radio and 911 operations. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures compliance continuity and may qualify for state or federal emergency communications funding support.

About this project
Marquette County Central Dispatch has allocated a $79,000 budget increase to address critical radio and 911 system reliability, including repeated paging failures that threaten uninterrupted emergency response. This upgrade is a top strategic priority, with compliance mandates and a required recorder upgrade by October 2026 adding operational urgency.
The opportunity
Funding is confirmed and leadership commitment is established, positioning this as a near-term procurement ready to move within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now ensures continuity of life-safety communications, supports NIMS and EMPG compliance, and aligns with available cooperative purchasing vehicles for streamlined acquisition.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Marquette County Central Dispatch's current mass notification capabilities may be insufficient as a standalone solution, particularly following major flooding events that exposed broader emergency preparedness gaps, including the absence of a current EOP and overdue after-action reviews. Compliance mandates under NIMS and EMPG, combined with paused federal grant reimbursements triggered by audit findings, elevate both operational and financial risk.
The opportunity
HSGP funding is directly applicable to emergency communications improvements, and active state and FEMA emergency declarations strengthen the case for external funding in the current cycle. Addressing notification gaps now supports EOP compliance, restores federal reimbursement eligibility, and improves coordinated response outcomes for residents and dispatch personnel.
