Emergency Operations Plan Review & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces an overdue EOP review mandated by Michigan state requirements and EMPG grant compliance deadlines, compounded by significant leadership turnover at 911 Central Dispatch. This transitional environment has created critical preparedness gaps that elevate operational and compliance risk for residents and emergency personnel.
The opportunity
Active EMPG compliance deadlines and confirmed budget allocations for E911 and dispatch system maintenance create a clear, near-term funding path. Addressing preparedness gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens continuity of emergency services, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification system relies on resident self-registration, creating measurable coverage gaps that put reliable emergency communication at risk. Leadership transitions in 911 Central Dispatch and an overdue EOP review compound operational and compliance exposure for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Active procurement interest, EMPG grant compliance deadlines, and allocated E911 budget create a timely window to modernize notification infrastructure. Addressing coverage gaps now strengthens public safety outcomes, supports EOP compliance, and aligns with available state and federal funding pathways.

Discuss this project →CAD & Medical Dispatch System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Tuscola County's 911 Central Dispatch is navigating significant leadership instability while managing aging CAD and medical dispatch infrastructure. Active RFPs and E911 budget allocations signal urgency, but operational continuity and compliance risks remain elevated during this transitional period.
The opportunity
Allocated E911 funding, PSAP reimbursements, and alignment with the FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program create a well-supported window to modernize dispatch operations. Acting now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens emergency response continuity, and leverages cooperative purchasing pathways to streamline procurement.

Fleet Safety · Liability Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
A recent total loss of a county animal control vehicle has exposed a critical gap in fleet safety, with no in-vehicle safety or telematics technology currently deployed. This absence increases liability exposure and limits the county's ability to document incidents, protect staff, and defend against claims.
The opportunity
The incident creates immediate urgency and a clear liability-reduction case aligned with the current fiscal planning cycle, with federal grant programs such as JAG providing eligible funding pathways. Acting now enables the county to reduce operational risk, protect public assets, and strengthen accountability across its fleet.
FY2026 HSGP
Discuss this project →Strengthen Cybersecurity Policy and IT Security Operations
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has an identified cybersecurity policy requirement and active IT operations, yet current security tooling may be fragmented across multiple vendors. Without a consolidated and policy-aligned security posture, the county faces elevated risk of data breaches, compliance gaps, and operational disruption to public services.
The opportunity
Cybersecurity initiatives are broadly eligible for state and federal funding, and aligning this project with the upcoming fiscal cycle supports responsible stewardship of public resources. Addressing security gaps now reduces audit exposure and strengthens continuity of county services for residents and staff.
