Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The County's Emergency Action Plan is past its 2024 review deadline, and NIMS compliance—required for grant eligibility—remains unmet. Recent declared emergencies from flooding and blizzard events have exposed critical gaps in countywide notification and preparedness infrastructure.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grant windows provide direct funding paths for mass notification and resilient emergency infrastructure, reducing local budget burden. A newly appointed Emergency Preparedness Coordinator signals leadership readiness to act within the next 90 days, aligning with fiscal and compliance timelines.
Countywide Mass Notification & Emergency Warning System
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Menominee County lacks a countywide emergency notification system, and the City of Menominee has discontinued siren use with no replacement in place. Recent flooding and blizzard emergencies have exposed this alerting gap, elevating public safety risk and jeopardizing grant eligibility tied to NIMS compliance.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including BRIC and HSGP offer direct funding paths for mass notification and resilient emergency infrastructure, making this a well-funded, time-sensitive initiative. Acting within the current grant cycle supports compliance, strengthens community resilience, and advances modernization of emergency warning systems as a stated county strategic priority.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Update and Compliance Alignment
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The current Hazard Mitigation Plan requires an update amid active flooding emergencies and an overdue County Emergency Action Plan, creating compounding operational and compliance risk. Without a current plan, the jurisdiction may be ineligible for federal mitigation funding and unprepared for escalating natural hazard events.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs such as BRIC and HSGP tie eligibility directly to a current Hazard Mitigation Plan, making near-term action critical to securing available funding. Completing this update now positions the jurisdiction to access resilience funding, satisfy compliance mandates, and strengthen community preparedness ahead of the next disaster cycle.
Physical Security & Access Control Modernization
Physical Security · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
A legacy access control system has failed at a public airport facility, creating an immediate security gap, while aging camera infrastructure lacks adequate coverage across key areas. These conditions elevate operational risk and expose the agency to safety and compliance vulnerabilities requiring urgent resolution.
The opportunity
An active procurement decision is already in motion, making this an immediate opportunity to address dual security gaps—access control and camera coverage—within the current budget cycle. Modernizing now reduces liability exposure, supports public safety mandates, and may align with available capital or cooperative contract funding pathways.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Modernization and Telematics Implementation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates fleet assets without any telematics solution in place, leaving a critical gap in safety oversight, driver accountability, and risk documentation. High insurance costs and undocumented fleet safety practices compound operational risk during an active vehicle procurement cycle.
The opportunity
Active capital spending on public safety vehicles signals an open procurement window, and cooperative purchasing contracts may reduce acquisition timelines and administrative burden. Addressing this gap now supports cost containment, insurance risk reduction, and aligns with the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Roadmap
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A federal DOJ mandate requires public-facing digital portals to meet accessibility standards by 2028, creating a defined compliance obligation for the agency. Without early assessment and planning, remediation costs and legal exposure risk increasing as the deadline approaches.
The opportunity
Beginning assessments and roadmap development now allows the agency to phase remediation across budget cycles, reducing last-minute costs and compliance risk. This project aligns with current FY planning windows and may be eligible for state or federal digital equity funding.
