Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Eaton County's current mass notification system is under active review, coinciding with a declared state of emergency, a new Emergency Manager, and identified preparedness gaps including staffing vacancies and an EOP of uncertain status. These converging factors elevate operational and compliance risk for residents and public safety staff.
The opportunity
A declared state of emergency may accelerate procurement timelines, and established grant programs—including those supporting emergency management performance and homeland security—offer viable funding paths. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns with leadership transition priorities and strengthens countywide emergency response readiness.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a publicly available or recently reviewed Emergency Operations Plan, creating compliance exposure and planning gaps at a time when a presidential disaster declaration underscores the need for resilient emergency infrastructure. A recent staffing vacancy in emergency management further strains operational capacity and readiness.
The opportunity
A newly appointed Emergency Manager and an active state of emergency declaration create immediate organizational mandate and procurement momentum. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Performance grants offer viable funding paths, and the EOP review already on schedule positions the county for near-term, fiscally responsible action.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has budget-approved initiatives underway to modernize its antivirus solution, consolidate IT security software, and address phishing risks, with a December 2026 target. New IT leadership designations—including CIO/CTO and CISO roles—signal a strategic shift toward cybersecurity maturity and compliance accountability.
The opportunity
With budget already approved and a defined December 2026 procurement window, the timing is favorable to advance cybersecurity investments aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Relevant federal grant programs support technology and equipment purchases in this category, reducing local funding burden while strengthening public data protection.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has a budget-approved initiative underway to address WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps on its public-facing website. Alongside accessibility deficiencies, documented performance issues—including dead clicks and JavaScript errors—signal broader digital experience risks that could affect public access to services and increase legal exposure.
The opportunity
With budget already allocated and the initiative actively in progress, the county is positioned to act within the current fiscal cycle. Resolving compliance gaps now reduces legal and audit risk while expanding scope to address performance issues supports equitable, reliable public access to county services.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Eaton County has identified minor patrol vehicle damage from a pursuit and lacks formal fleet safety programs or telematics infrastructure. This gap increases liability exposure and limits visibility into vehicle operations across county and township fleets.
The opportunity
An upcoming ALPR contract renewal creates a natural procurement window to expand fleet safety capabilities through cooperative purchasing vehicles already preferred by the county. Grants such as the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG program may offer eligible funding paths, aligning with current budget planning cycles.
