Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township faces an unknown and potentially overdue EOP status, compounded by recent leadership turnover in key public safety roles that threatens continuity. NIMS implementation requirements and Michigan's EOP review cycle create active compliance mandates that elevate organizational and operational risk.
The opportunity
An active Hazard Mitigation Plan update and HSGP grant funding with upcoming deadlines create a timely window to address preparedness gaps with limited local match required. Acting now aligns with fiscal planning cycles, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens continuity during a period of leadership transition.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Brownstown Township's current mass notification infrastructure presents integration and capability gaps at a time when NIMS compliance, EOP review cycles, and public alerting reliability are under heightened scrutiny. Leadership transitions in key public safety roles further elevate the risk of continuity gaps in emergency communications.
The opportunity
Active grant windows—including HSGP—directly support public alerting and emergency preparedness investments, often with limited local match required. Modernizing now aligns with Michigan's EOP review mandates, strengthens resident safety outcomes, and positions the township to maximize available state and federal funding before the current cycle closes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Civic Technology
High Priority
About this project
Accessibility gaps across public-facing digital properties create legal exposure under WCAG/ADA mandates and limit equitable access to government services for residents. Active website improvement initiatives confirm organizational intent, but unresolved compliance gaps carry ongoing reputational and litigation risk.
The opportunity
WCAG/ADA compliance obligations create continuous legal and equity risk, making delay costly for any public entity. With improvement initiatives already underway and budget intent confirmed, this fiscal cycle presents a timely window to close gaps, reduce liability, and ensure equitable digital access for all residents.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township's IT environment—spanning managed services and Microsoft 365—has identified gaps in password management and remote endpoint oversight, leaving critical infrastructure exposed. With annual IT spend exceeding $18M, unaddressed endpoint vulnerabilities represent significant operational and financial risk to public services.
The opportunity
Named grant programs explicitly covering cybersecurity investments carry upcoming deadlines, creating a time-sensitive window to fund layered endpoint protections with limited local match. Acting within the current cycle aligns procurement with cooperative purchasing pathways already in use, accelerating delivery and reducing cost burden.
