Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Preparedness Update
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for update, with identified preparedness gaps and compliance mandates requiring immediate attention. Recent declared emergencies from severe flooding and a blizzard, combined with a transition in the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator role, have elevated operational and continuity risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Active federal grant windows, including hazard mitigation and homeland security preparedness funding, provide a near-term pathway to address this gap with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with budget planning, supports compliance, and strengthens countywide emergency response and public notification capabilities.
Countywide Emergency Notification System Replacement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification system has shown gaps in reach and reliability during recent declared emergencies, including flooding and blizzard events. An EOP update is overdue, a new Emergency Preparedness Coordinator is in place, and the county is actively evaluating a countywide solution with reverse 911 capability.
The opportunity
Recent declared emergencies and a pending Hazard Mitigation Plan update create strong urgency for modernizing countywide alerting. BRIC and HSGP grant programs explicitly support this type of investment, and cooperative purchasing pathways can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Update and Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county is updating its Hazard Mitigation Plan amid recent declared flooding emergencies, exposing critical gaps in mitigation frameworks and warning systems. Without an approved plan, the county risks losing eligibility for federal disaster preparedness funding and faces growing operational and public safety exposure.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grant deadlines are approaching, and the recent flooding emergency has created strong administrative and political will to act. Completing the plan update now preserves federal funding eligibility and positions the county to invest in resilient, community-protective infrastructure during the current budget cycle.
Enterprise Password Management for County IT Security
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Menominee County's IT environment lacks a confirmed enterprise password management solution, creating an unaddressed credential security gap. Without centralized controls, county systems and sensitive resident data remain exposed to preventable access-related risks.
The opportunity
The county's active IT investment posture and use of cooperative purchasing programs create a streamlined path to address this gap within the current fiscal cycle. Closing this vulnerability supports broader cybersecurity compliance and responsible stewardship of public data.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces compliance gaps in digital document accessibility under WCAG 2.1 standards, creating legal exposure and barriers for residents relying on public-facing services. Unresolved gaps risk ADA-related liability and inequitable access to government information.
The opportunity
An active budget amendment process for software licensing signals readiness to invest, and WCAG 2.1 deadlines create a defined compliance window. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
