Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City of Flat Rock has documented gaps in its Emergency Operations Plan, mass notification systems, and exercise and after-action review processes. Michigan's mandated 4-year EOP review cycle and NIMS compliance requirements for federal funding eligibility create direct regulatory consequences for continued inaction.
The opportunity
The city's active FY27 budget cycle and multiple FEMA grant programs with upcoming deadlines create a near-term window to address compliance gaps with available funding. Acting now protects federal funding eligibility, reduces operational risk, and strengthens community preparedness outcomes.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's incumbent mass notification system has documented gaps in coverage and capability, limiting effective communication during critical incidents. These deficiencies, alongside EOP and exercise shortfalls, elevate operational and compliance risk under Michigan EOP review and NIMS requirements.
The opportunity
The active FY27 budget cycle and recent capital approvals for public safety equipment create a timely procurement window. FEMA grant programs align with modernization efforts, and cooperative purchasing options support streamlined, cost-effective acquisition to close preparedness gaps now.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Implementation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has experienced high-severity fleet incidents, including a $1.5M wrongful death settlement and a police vehicle collision, exposing significant liability and operational risk. Immediate deployment of telematics and driver safety tools is critical to reducing future incidents and protecting public resources.
The opportunity
Executive urgency driven by recent settlements and an active FY27 budget cycle creates a strong window for action. Transportation and fleet safety initiatives may be eligible for aligned grant funding, and cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps across its public-facing digital properties, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access. Upcoming ADA/WCAG mandates with 2026–2027 deadlines require timely remediation to avoid enforcement risk.
The opportunity
The active FY27 budget cycle presents a near-term window to fund accessibility remediation before compliance deadlines arrive. Addressing gaps now reduces legal liability, supports equitable public service delivery, and may align with state or federal accessibility funding pathways.
