Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Compliance & Readiness
High Priority
About this project
Brockway Township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and documented HSEEP-style exercises — placing it out of compliance with Michigan MSP EOP standards and NIMS requirements. Without corrective action, the township faces escalating regulatory and operational risk to public safety continuity.
The opportunity
A new Emergency Preparedness staff member joining in June 2026 creates an immediate organizational window to establish EOP lifecycle and documentation practices. HSGP and EMPG grant funding are directly applicable, reducing local budget burden while advancing compliance and community resilience ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
Fleet Safety Modernization After Critical Loss
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A catastrophic fire recently destroyed multiple vehicles and equipment, exposing critical gaps in fleet oversight and operational safety. With a new fire apparatus already procured and a Long Range Transportation Plan update underway, the department faces urgent pressure to modernize fleet management practices and prevent future losses.
The opportunity
Active capital investment in new apparatus and ongoing fleet procurement planning create a well-timed window to implement sustainable safety and management improvements. Federal grant programs, including JAG and COPS TEP, explicitly support telematics for emergency fleets, offering direct funding paths with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle maximizes alignment with available grant windows and capital budget activity.
Credential and IT Ecosystem Consolidation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township's IT environment is fragmented across multiple email platforms and service providers, creating credential management gaps and inconsistent endpoint oversight. Active procurement for email, cabling, phone, and internet services — alongside a pending software renewal — signals unresolved infrastructure risk across departments.
The opportunity
Active budget cycles, a pending software renewal, and cooperative purchasing vehicles simplify procurement and reduce time-to-implementation. JAG and COPS TEP grant programs offer eligible funding paths for public safety-aligned IT and cybersecurity tools, making this an ideal moment to consolidate and harden the county's digital infrastructure.
Countywide Credential & Identity Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented email ecosystem across departments has created decentralized, inconsistent credential management practices that elevate identity security risk. Active internal discussions around password and credential management software—including a potential county-wide expansion—signal a recognized operational gap requiring structured remediation.
The opportunity
Cybersecurity tools for public-sector identity management are eligible for funding through justice and homeland security grant programs aligned with the current grant cycle. Acting within the upcoming fiscal window allows the county to consolidate credential risk, support IT modernization goals, and leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles to streamline procurement.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties show accessibility gaps that conflict with ADA obligations, limiting equitable resident access to government services. Without specialized remediation, the entity faces legal exposure and continued barriers for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
ADA compliance timelines create near-term urgency to remediate digital accessibility gaps before legal or audit risk escalates. Addressing this now supports equitable service delivery, aligns with civil rights mandates, and may qualify for state or federal technology accessibility funding.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification systems have not been evaluated against EOP and NIMS compliance requirements, creating measurable preparedness gaps. With no documented EOP for key jurisdictions and overdue exercise requirements, operational and compliance risk to residents and emergency staff is elevated.
The opportunity
A new Emergency Preparedness hire and active system reassessment create a timely window to align notification capabilities with HSGP- and EMPG-eligible improvements. Acting within the current grant cycle supports compliance, strengthens community-wide emergency response, and maximizes available federal funding.
