Emergency Operations Plan Development and Coordination
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and documented NIMS-compliant exercises — gaps made urgent by recent EF-1 tornado declarations. Without these foundational elements, the township faces elevated operational, legal, and life-safety risk during future incidents.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program currently funds alert, warning, and interoperable communications initiatives, offering a direct funding path with limited local match. Acting ahead of November budget planning positions the township to close critical preparedness gaps, meet compliance requirements, and strengthen community resilience.
Modernize Mass Notification for Interoperable Emergency Alerting
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's fragmented notification infrastructure—operating separately from the county's consolidated alert platform—creates critical coordination gaps during declared emergencies. Recent tornado declarations and the absence of an integrated emergency notification strategy elevate operational and public safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) explicitly funds alert, warning, and interoperable communication systems, providing a direct and accessible funding path. Acting within the current grant cycle strengthens regional coordination, closes a documented preparedness gap, and advances compliance with NIMS and EOP requirements before the next emergency event.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township is mid-migration to a new website with identified gaps in document accessibility and digital forms, leaving compliance with accessibility mandates incomplete. Without a fully conformant digital presence, the township faces legal exposure and risks excluding residents from essential public services.
The opportunity
An existing platform renewal due July 2027 creates a near-term procurement window, and November budget planning aligns with funding decisions. Addressing accessibility gaps now supports ADA compliance, improves equitable public access, and positions the township to leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles for cost-effective procurement.

Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks documented dash camera, telematics, or driver safety monitoring deployments, leaving fleet operations without visibility into driver behavior or incident accountability. Serious roadway incidents in the area signal unaddressed risk to staff, residents, and public assets.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program funding may offset fleet safety investments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now reduces liability exposure and strengthens public safety outcomes before the next budget planning window in November.
