Regional Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The region currently lacks a unified Emergency Operations Plan, creating significant compliance risk against NIMS standards and EOP review cycle mandates. Fragmented mass-notification systems across counties further expose the region to operational gaps and delayed response during emergencies.
The opportunity
Grant funding through hazard mitigation and homeland security preparedness programs provides viable budget pathways, and strategic initiatives such as EOC modernization and hazard mitigation plan updates reinforce near-term prioritization. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens coordinated regional response outcomes.
Region-Wide Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The region relies on fragmented, county-level mass notification systems with no unified alerting solution, limiting consistent public communication during emergencies. This gap, compounded by NIMS compliance obligations and overdue EOP review cycles, elevates operational and public safety risk across the region.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant funding are available to support regional consolidation efforts, and cooperative purchasing simplifies procurement. Acting within the current grant cycle advances early warning system goals, strengthens NIMS compliance, and delivers more reliable emergency alerting to residents across all counties.
Fleet Safety Monitoring & Telematics Implementation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
R2PC operates an active fleet of vehicles and equipment without documented safety technology or telematics, creating liability exposure and limited oversight capability. The absence of safety monitoring leaves the agency vulnerable to operational risk and lacks the accountability infrastructure expected of public fleet management.
The opportunity
MDOT RTF awards and COPS TEP and JAG grants provide identified funding paths for vehicle safety and fleet modernization investments, aligning with the agency's broader EV and smart mobility trajectory. Acting within the current grant cycle and fiscal planning window enables R2PC to close safety gaps, reduce liability, and strengthen stewardship of public assets.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The commission's public-facing digital properties may have unresolved WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility gaps, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access for residents with disabilities. The WordPress-based infrastructure may present structural barriers to achieving full compliance with current accessibility standards.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 AA compliance carries legal risk that elevates urgency for remediation ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Cooperative procurement vehicles already in use by the account can streamline acquisition of compliant solutions, reducing both cost and administrative burden.
