Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Baraga Township lacks a clearly identified mass notification system and has an unresolved Emergency Operations Plan status, compounding risk from recent emergency management leadership vacancies and outsourced county-level EM. These gaps create measurable compliance exposure under NIMS requirements and Michigan EOP review cycles.
The opportunity
The creation of a combined Emergency Manager/911 Director role opens a near-term window to align technology decisions with NIMS compliance and operational readiness. The Homeland Security Grant Program and BRIC funding are applicable, offering a clear path to address these gaps within the current grant cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Fire & Emergency Services
High Priority
About this project
The department is actively procuring fire apparatus but lacks documented dash cam or telematics solutions, creating gaps in fleet accountability and preventative safety oversight. NIMS compliance mandates and fleet-related requirements add urgency to establishing consistent, auditable fleet management practices.
The opportunity
Approved millage funding and state budget line items dedicated to fire apparatus purchases create a timely opening to layer in fleet safety technology within existing procurement cycles. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, streamlining acquisition and reducing administrative burden for this fiscal cycle.

Physical Security · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent security camera system approval signals active investment in physical security infrastructure, but gaps remain in coverage, integration, and emergency preparedness coordination. Without a cohesive security strategy, public facilities and personnel face elevated operational and safety risk.
The opportunity
Current procurement momentum and available grant funding—including Homeland Security Grant Program eligibility—create a timely window to expand and formalize physical security investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle maximizes funding alignment and strengthens public safety outcomes for residents and staff.
IT Infrastructure Consolidation and Cybersecurity Improvement
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a fragmented IT environment with mixed email domains and disconnected county and township systems, creating cybersecurity vulnerabilities and gaps in unified management. Website accessibility compliance adds a digital mandate dimension, increasing operational and regulatory risk across the organization.
The opportunity
Active organizational growth through volunteer recruitment and expanded services demands scalable, secure IT infrastructure now, ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Consolidating systems reduces risk exposure, supports digital compliance mandates, and may align with available state and federal funding pathways for public safety technology.
