EOP Review & NIMS Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a named Emergency Management Coordinator and faces overdue EOP review cycles and NIMS implementation requirements. Non-compliance carries direct consequences, including loss of federal funding eligibility, while gaps in mass notification and formal exercises leave the community underprotected.
The opportunity
A State EMPG award provides a direct funding signal, and Homeland Security grant programs offer additional pathways with strong alignment to emergency preparedness priorities. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses compliance deadlines, reduces federal funding risk, and strengthens community emergency response capacity.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a dedicated, locally owned mass notification system, creating a critical emergency preparedness gap. Reliance on third-party modules without a standalone solution leaves residents underserved and puts NIMS compliance and federal funding eligibility at risk.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) directly aligns with this need, offering a funding pathway with limited local match requirements. Recent active procurement cycles signal budget readiness, and acting within the current grant window strengthens compliance posture and community-wide emergency response outcomes.
Emergency Management Exercise Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Bois Blanc Township has no documented HSEEP-style exercises, creating a critical preparedness gap and elevating risk of non-compliance with federal emergency management standards, including NIMS. Without a formal exercise program, the township risks losing federal funding and remains underprepared for hazard events.
The opportunity
HSGP funding eligibility and an active EMPG award create a near-term window to formalize an exercise program with limited local match required. Acting now aligns with the county hazard mitigation plan, closes a compliance gap, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next federal review cycle.
Secure Credential Management for Department Communications
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department relies on Gmail for official communications, signaling an absence of enterprise-grade identity and credential management. This exposes staff and public data to risks from unmanaged passwords and shared credentials, creating measurable cybersecurity vulnerability.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) offers an aligned funding pathway for a targeted, low-cost credential management solution. Acting within the current grant cycle allows the department to close a critical security gap with minimal impact to an already limited IT budget.
