Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Schoolcraft County has documented preparedness gaps — no public EOP, no mass-notification system, and no exercise records — heightened by a recent Local State of Emergency declaration following a severe blizzard. NIMS and Michigan Publication 201 compliance mandates further elevate operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The active emergency declaration creates immediate funding eligibility and leadership prioritization, with HSGP grant deadlines approaching in July 2026. Addressing these gaps now strengthens community resilience, satisfies compliance mandates, and aligns with a clear near-term decision window.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a publicly documented mass-notification system, leaving residents and staff without reliable alerting during emergencies. This critical gap was exposed by a recent severe blizzard and Local State of Emergency declaration, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Active emergency management grant windows, including deadlines in July 2026, provide a defined funding and procurement timeline to close this gap. Acting now aligns with post-declaration urgency, supports NIMS compliance, and strengthens community-wide emergency response readiness.
Sheriff's Office Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · Law Enforcement IT
High Priority
About this project
A $30,000 cybersecurity budget amendment has been approved for the Sheriff's Office, creating an immediate, funded mandate to migrate from a legacy password management solution to a compliant alternative. Explicit compliance requirements for password security practices elevate operational and data-protection risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
Approved funding removes procurement barriers, and grant programs such as COPS TEP and JAG with July 2026 deadlines offer additional cybersecurity investment pathways. Acting within the current fiscal window ensures compliance alignment, reduces credential-based risk, and maximizes available public funding.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county currently lacks confirmed telematics or dashcam solutions, creating unmitigated fleet risk exposure during routine and emergency operations. The recent blizzard emergency — requiring debris removal and infrastructure repair — has amplified the operational need for real-time fleet visibility and driver safety management.
The opportunity
The active Local State of Emergency declaration elevates funding prioritization for fleet management tied to disaster response, and the COPS TEP grant program with a July 2026 deadline explicitly supports this category. Acting within the current fiscal window allows the county to leverage cooperative procurement and available grant dollars to reduce liability and strengthen operational readiness.
