Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, creating significant compliance and operational risk following recent severe flooding and a declared state of emergency. NIMS implementation mandates tied to federal funding eligibility and the need for formal EOP management with after-action tracking remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grant paths identified for FY26, combined with an active county Hazard Mitigation Plan update, create a high-urgency strategic window to act now. Formalizing the EOP strengthens federal funding eligibility, reduces operational risk, and positions the township for long-term emergency preparedness.

Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Mecosta County's Hazard Mitigation Plan requires an update driven by recent flooding and a declared state of emergency, creating acute operational and compliance exposure. Maintaining an approved plan is a federal prerequisite for ongoing and future FEMA hazard mitigation assistance eligibility.
The opportunity
A $40K FEMA hazard mitigation grant has already been awarded, providing immediate budget authority and establishing eligibility momentum for this effort. Acting within the current grant cycle protects federal funding access, advances NIMS compliance, and strengthens the county's preparedness posture ahead of future disaster events.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a fragmented notification setup — a county-level platform alongside a fire department relying on a personal email account — reducing reliability and reach during emergencies. Recent flooding and a declared state of emergency expose the operational and compliance risks of this gap, particularly given NIMS requirements tied to federal funding eligibility.
The opportunity
Active FEMA grant funding (HSGP and BRIC) and a confirmed cooperative procurement relationship provide a streamlined, cost-effective path to unification this fiscal cycle. Consolidating notification infrastructure now strengthens emergency response, supports EOP compliance, and reduces public risk ahead of the next declared event.

Cybersecurity · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department's use of a personal Gmail account for official communications signals an absence of enterprise identity and credential management, creating measurable cybersecurity and operational risk. For a public safety entity coordinating emergency response, unmanaged credentials expose sensitive communications and undermine operational integrity.
The opportunity
Addressing credential and identity security now aligns with broader emergency management modernization efforts and the current FY26 federal grant window supporting public safety infrastructure. Formalizing identity practices reduces compliance exposure, strengthens operational continuity, and positions the department for future funding eligibility.
