Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Byron Township Fire Department lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, a named Emergency Management Coordinator, and verified mass-notification capabilities. These gaps create measurable regulatory and operational risk, as NIMS implementation and EOP review cycle mandates remain unmet.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) provides a direct funding path for emergency management equipment and preparedness initiatives, with supplemental options potentially available through BRIC. Active public safety budget increases tied to recent flooding and heat wave responses further support near-term action aligned with the current fiscal cycle.
Modernize Emergency Mass Notification Capabilities
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's mass-notification capabilities are unclear and potentially inadequate, limiting reliable communication with staff and residents during emergencies. This gap contributes directly to compliance and operational risk under NIMS mandates and the required EOP review cycle.
The opportunity
Emergency preparedness compliance mandates and documented notification gaps create immediate urgency for action. The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) provides an eligible funding pathway, and cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.
Fleet Safety & Vehicle Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Byron Township Fire Department sustained two significant firetruck accidents within a single month, resulting in major vehicle damage and heightened public scrutiny. With no evidence of existing fleet safety technology and an expanding capital fleet program, the department faces unaddressed operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
Recent incidents create immediate urgency to act within the current budget cycle, and the department's active capital investment in vehicles signals available funding capacity. Cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined, cost-effective procurement path aligned with public stewardship obligations.

IT Modernization · Community Engagement
High Priority
About this project
The township currently operates a fragmented web presence across two platforms, reducing consistency in digital service delivery and community communications. This split creates operational inefficiencies and may limit equitable public access as resident expectations for unified digital services grow.
The opportunity
An active capital improvement plan for software upgrades spanning 2026–2028 signals readiness for digital modernization investment in the near term. Consolidating now supports operational efficiency, improves public-facing service delivery, and positions the township to align spending with planned budget cycles.
