Emergency Operations Plan and Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Michigan Secretary of State lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and a dedicated mass notification platform, creating critical service continuity and communications gaps. State emergency management requirements under MEMP/NIMS and an Election Security Advisory Commission focused on preparedness create active compliance mandates that remain unmet.
The opportunity
Emergency management grants and strong state-level investment in public safety create a compelling near-term funding window for this initiative. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens election and operational continuity, and aligns with current fiscal planning cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency currently lacks a dedicated mass notification platform, creating measurable gaps in emergency communications and service continuity during outages. MEMP and NIMS compliance mandates require a documented, agency-level solution, elevating both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Active compliance obligations tied to state emergency management requirements create clear urgency for action within the current planning cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and state-level investment in public safety communications supports funding alignment for this initiative.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A statewide WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate creates a persistent accessibility obligation for public-facing web portals, including digital voter information services. Non-compliance exposes the agency to legal liability and restricts equitable public access to essential government services.
The opportunity
This compliance obligation is evergreen with no expiration, making any fiscal cycle the right time to act. With substantial annual IT budget capacity and cooperative procurement vehicles confirmed, accessible digital services can be advanced efficiently and in alignment with public equity goals.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
State IT and cybersecurity policies mandate strong credential and access controls, yet a fragmented identity management environment creates compliance gaps and elevated breach risk. Without a unified approach, sensitive election and constituent data remains vulnerable, undermining both operational integrity and public trust.
The opportunity
Election security grants and cybersecurity resiliency initiatives are active funding drivers, and a substantial annual IT budget supports near-term investment. Addressing identity and credential management now aligns with compliance mandates, reduces audit exposure, and strengthens the security posture ahead of the next election cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency currently lacks documented dashcam and telematics deployments across its fleet, creating unaddressed gaps in driver accountability, asset visibility, and liability risk management. Without a telematics solution, the agency has limited ability to monitor vehicle safety, optimize operations, or substantiate incident response.
The opportunity
Identified grant programs aligned with fleet safety initiatives and available cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined, cost-effective path to procurement within the current planning cycle. Addressing this gap now positions the agency to reduce liability exposure, improve operational oversight, and strengthen stewardship of public assets.
