Outdoor Warning System & Mass Notification Expansion
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Critical gaps in outdoor warning coverage—including geographic blind spots and an unimplemented siren expansion—leave populations without timely alerts during emergencies. The recent detection of Jamestown Canyon virus and reliance on limited SMS alerts underscore the urgency of a comprehensive, redundant public notification system.
The opportunity
An active procurement window with a near-term deadline, supported by dedicated local millage funding and FEMA grant pathways (HSGP and BRIC), creates a defined opportunity to act within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to accelerate procurement and reduce administrative burden for eligible entities.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency operates a managed vehicle fleet central to its annual abatement program but has identified capability gaps with its current tracking solution. Inadequate telematics visibility elevates driver safety risk and limits operational accountability for a budget-approved, high-priority public health initiative.
The opportunity
An approved dedicated funding source creates a near-term window to act without competing for general budget. Cooperative purchasing agreements provide streamlined procurement pathways, reducing administrative burden and accelerating deployment ahead of the active abatement season.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Midland County's active Hazard Mitigation Plan and recent severe weather declarations expose critical preparedness gaps, including the inability to warn residents in specific geographic areas and an incomplete outdoor warning siren network. These gaps elevate public safety risk and signal urgent need for structured emergency response and mitigation planning capabilities.
The opportunity
FEMA grant programs, including HSGP and BRIC, provide strong, accessible funding pathways aligned to this project, reducing local budget burden. Active procurement activity and near-term proposal deadlines make this an immediate priority for strengthening countywide emergency response and protecting residents.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recognized gap exists in password security and access control for staff accounts, leaving credentials and sensitive systems vulnerable to unauthorized access. While no formal mandate has been issued, unmanaged access controls represent a growing operational risk as cyber threats targeting public sector entities continue to rise.
The opportunity
FEMA grant programs currently active in this region may extend to cybersecurity initiatives, offering a low-local-match funding pathway aligned with the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing access control now positions the organization ahead of potential mandates and reduces exposure before higher-priority emergency management investments are finalized.
