Hazard Mitigation Plan Development
Emergency Management · FEMA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Mecosta County is the only county in Michigan without a Hazard Mitigation Plan, blocking eligibility for FEMA disaster assistance. Overdue EOP review cycles and unmet NIMS compliance requirements compound the risk, with explicit consequences including loss of federal funding eligibility.
The opportunity
A $40,000 FEMA grant is already secured, creating an immediate decision window to close the county's most critical preparedness gap. Acting now restores federal funding eligibility, satisfies NIMS mandates, and positions the county for future Homeland Security and BRIC grant opportunities.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county relies on an aging mass notification platform that may lack the integration and reach required for modern emergency communications. Combined with an overdue EOP review, unmet NIMS compliance requirements, and the county's status as the only jurisdiction in Michigan without a Hazard Mitigation Plan, the gap in alert capability elevates risk to residents and funding eligibility.
The opportunity
The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program explicitly identifies mass-notification systems as an eligible expenditure, creating a direct funding pathway with limited local match required. Active FEMA grant engagement, overdue compliance mandates, and cooperative purchasing vehicles align to support a near-term decision that strengthens public safety outcomes and restores full federal funding eligibility.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The Village of Morley's municipal website has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. With no active remediation underway, the compliance need remains a persistent operational and liability risk for the municipality.
The opportunity
A recent budget approval creates a near-term decision window to address accessibility remediation in a staged, risk-prioritized approach. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk, improves resident access, and aligns with cooperative procurement pathways that can simplify and accelerate the process.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department faces operational risk from emergency response vehicle collisions, aging apparatus, and no telematics visibility into fleet performance or driver behavior. These gaps create liability exposure and limit the department's ability to proactively manage safety and readiness.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and accelerate deployment within the current fiscal cycle. A proactive telematics pilot strengthens operational readiness, reduces liability, and positions the department to demonstrate responsible stewardship of public safety resources.
