Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has no formal Emergency Operations Plan, no documented exercises or after-action reviews, and a recent ice storm incident that exposed critical preparedness gaps. NIMS compliance mandates and emergency management regulations are actively in place, creating compounding operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Multiple aligned federal grant programs support emergency preparedness, mass notification, and EOC readiness initiatives, with potential disaster funding anticipated in the near term. Acting within the current fiscal window positions the township to close compliance gaps, reduce liability, and strengthen community resilience with available external funding.
Mass Notification Independence for Township Emergency Response
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently relies on county-managed mass notification with no independent alerting capability, creating a critical dependency and response gap. Compliance mandates including NIMS and EOP requirements, combined with a recent local state of emergency, elevate the operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Grant programs including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG are explicitly aligned to mass notification and emergency communications investments, reducing local funding burden. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the township to close a documented preparedness gap, strengthen compliance standing, and protect residents during time-sensitive emergencies.
Public Safety Mapping & GIS Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A submitted $22K mapping grant application signals an identified gap in geographic and spatial data capabilities critical to emergency response operations. Without modernized GIS infrastructure, first responders face coordination risks during incidents, and the agency may fall short of emergency management compliance standards including NIMS and EOP requirements.
The opportunity
The active grant application reflects near-term budget availability and leadership commitment, with potential state and federal disaster funds anticipated from July 2026 creating a compounding funding window. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the agency to close preparedness gaps, strengthen response coordination, and align with emergency management mandates before the next grant cycle closes.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a April 2028 deadline to achieve WCAG 2.1 web accessibility compliance, with current gaps in accessible digital content delivery across web and document management platforms. Unaddressed gaps risk excluding residents with disabilities and exposing the county to federal compliance liability.
The opportunity
The defined April 2028 compliance horizon enables a staged remediation approach aligned to risk severity, making this an ideal fit for current fiscal-year planning and budgeting cycles. Proactive investment supports equitable public access, reduces legal exposure, and may align with state or federal digital equity funding opportunities.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks on-vehicle evidence capture and telematics, creating measurable exposure risk for personnel who regularly respond to road incidents. These gaps represent identified top safety risks, leaving the department without data to support incident review, liability management, or driver accountability.
The opportunity
Fleet telematics tied to resilient response vehicles may be eligible for state or federal grant funding, and cooperative purchasing agreements can reduce procurement complexity. Addressing these safety gaps now supports personnel protection, operational accountability, and positions the department ahead of future compliance or insurance scrutiny.
Secure VPN Renewal and IT Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A staff departure has left a critical gap in VPN oversight, with a license renewal deadline approaching in May 2026 that poses immediate cybersecurity risk. Concurrently, the department is pursuing replacement of legacy incident reporting software as part of a broader IT and records modernization effort.
The opportunity
The May 2026 VPN renewal deadline creates a near-term window to address access security and reduce operational exposure before the fiscal year closes. Pairing this with the records modernization initiative allows the department to consolidate planning, align with procurement cycles, and strengthen long-term infrastructure resilience.
