EOC Technology Upgrade and Operational Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Wayne County's EOC faces recognized capability gaps in computer infrastructure and operational coordination, with planned audits for emergency preparedness signaling compliance urgency. DHSEM's mission requirements and a high compliance urgency score underscore the need to modernize EOC systems to sustain effective emergency response.
The opportunity
The approved 2025 Wayne County Hazard Mitigation Plan creates a strategically timely window, with FEMA grant programs explicitly aligned to emergency management, preparedness, and equipment providing accessible funding paths. Acting within the current grant cycle strengthens EOC readiness, addresses audit findings, and advances mission-critical public safety outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Wayne County's newly approved 2025 Hazard Mitigation Plan signals active strategic momentum, but organizational gaps—including high staff turnover and absent succession planning—leave critical preparedness functions vulnerable. Planned emergency preparedness audits further underscore the urgency of closing operational gaps before they become compliance or safety liabilities.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including BRIC and HSGP directly fund preparedness activities and equipment, aligning with the county's demonstrated readiness through exercises and prior grant participation. Acting within the current implementation window maximizes funding eligibility, addresses audit findings proactively, and strengthens continuity of emergency operations for residents and staff.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification infrastructure shows reliability gaps compounded by high staff turnover and succession planning deficiencies, undermining consistent emergency communications. These organizational vulnerabilities elevate operational risk and conflict with emergency preparedness compliance expectations tied to the county's active Hazard Mitigation Plan.
The opportunity
FEMA grant programs including BRIC and HSGP provide aligned funding paths for emergency communications modernization, and cooperative purchasing offers an expedited procurement route. Acting within the current grant cycle strengthens EOC coordination, reduces compliance exposure, and improves public safety outcomes countywide.

Discuss this project →Fleet Modernization and Safety Upgrade
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Fleet replacement funds have been budgeted, signaling an active modernization cycle, while a pending lawsuit and rising training vehicle operating costs are intensifying safety and liability pressures. Planned equipment audits add further urgency to address gaps in fleet oversight and operational accountability.
The opportunity
Budgeted replacement funds and scheduled equipment audits create a defined, time-sensitive window to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing fleet safety and liability risks now supports cost containment, reduces exposure, and aligns with cooperative procurement vehicles that simplify acquisition.
