Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance Review
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has no recent EOP review on record, creating significant exposure under NIMS compliance mandates. A declared state of emergency following flooding has exposed critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, elevating operational risk for residents and emergency personnel.
The opportunity
A FEMA-approved Hazard Mitigation Plan positions the county for grant eligibility—including BRIC and HSGP—and the active emergency declaration increases the likelihood of reimbursement-eligible expenditures within a 90-day window. New leadership in the Emergency Management Coordinator role creates a timely entry point to close preparedness gaps and advance mass notification modernization.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A declared flooding emergency has exposed critical gaps in the county's public notification and emergency response capabilities, elevating operational and compliance risk. Leadership is actively evaluating modernization options, with NIMS compliance, EOP review cycles, and reliable resident alerting identified as urgent priorities.
The opportunity
Active emergency conditions and a top-tier strategic priority designation make this a high-urgency, near-term initiative. Grant funding pathways—including hazard mitigation and homeland security programs—are available, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate compliant procurement within the current fiscal window.
Cybersecurity Compliance & Infrastructure Hardening
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The county must meet CJIS security requirements—including password management and incident response protocols—with a LEIN audit pending that creates a near-term compliance deadline. Gaps in identity management and endpoint security expose the county to audit findings and potential disruption of criminal justice data access.
The opportunity
The defined audit timeline creates urgency to act within the current planning cycle, and multiple state and federal grant programs offer viable funding pathways for eligible cybersecurity initiatives. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance risk, strengthens public safety operations, and positions the county for sustainable security posture.
Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 compliance for its public-facing website, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities. A foundational plan and partial technology are in place, making this a structured but lower-urgency compliance initiative.
The opportunity
Addressing WCAG compliance aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle and cooperative purchasing vehicles that can simplify procurement with minimal administrative burden. Acting proactively reduces legal risk and ensures all residents have equitable access to county services and information.

Public Safety · Emergency Communications
High Priority
About this project
Roscommon County Central Dispatch is navigating a leadership transition with a newly hired Director of Center Operations, creating a critical window for evaluating existing dispatch systems and technology alignment. Reinstated 911 millage funding provides a dedicated local revenue source to sustain and modernize dispatch operations.
The opportunity
Millage reinstatement offers near-term budget certainty, and incoming leadership is positioned to shape technology priorities before operational patterns are locked in. Acting within this transition window supports continuity of 911 services, aligns with public safety mandates, and leverages available cooperative procurement pathways.
