Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department is migrating from its current mass notification platform, which requires resident and staff re-registration — creating critical reachability gaps during emergencies. NIMS compliance requirements and an upcoming Emergency Preparedness audit elevate the operational and regulatory risk of delayed action.
The opportunity
A recently closed solicitation confirms an active procurement cycle, and a DHSEM budget increase signals near-term spend readiness. This project is eligible for HSGP and FEMA hazard mitigation funding, aligning with current grant windows and upcoming budget hearings.
Emergency Operations Plan Development and Preparedness Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan exists, creating a critical preparedness gap amid significant flooding exposure and mass notification continuity risks. NIMS compliance is required to maintain eligibility for preparedness funding, and a scheduled 2026 Emergency Preparedness audit elevates the urgency for immediate remediation.
The opportunity
The 2026 Emergency Preparedness audit creates a firm, near-term compliance deadline that makes inaction increasingly costly. Active FEMA HMGP awards and HSGP grant eligibility provide viable funding pathways with strong institutional alignment, as demonstrated by participation in the Wayne County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Formalizing the EOP now protects preparedness funding eligibility, reduces audit risk, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
While multi-factor authentication tools are in place, a gap in enterprise credential governance leaves identity infrastructure incomplete and exposes the organization to credential-based risk. Expanding into integrated password management addresses this compliance maturity gap and strengthens the overall security posture.
The opportunity
An active IT budget allocation and substantial annual technology spend signal readiness to act within the current fiscal cycle. Closing this credential governance gap reduces operational risk, supports cybersecurity compliance, and builds on existing identity investments already in place.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing web presence has identified WCAG compliance gaps, with document accessibility flagged as an additional area of concern. While no formal mandate is confirmed, unaddressed accessibility barriers elevate legal exposure and limit equitable resident access to public services.
The opportunity
Accessibility improvements can be staged by severity, reducing legal and equity risk within current operational budgets and existing vendor relationships. Addressing gaps now positions the department ahead of evolving federal and state accessibility expectations during the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
