Emergency Operations Plan Development and Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan and has unclear mass-notification coverage, creating documented compliance gaps against NIMS and HSEEP requirements. April 2026 flooding exposed critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, elevating operational and public safety risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Active BRIC grant eligibility and an approved FY2026/2027 public safety budget create a compelling near-term window—within the next 90 days—to address preparedness gaps with limited local match. Acting now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens disaster response readiness, and positions the city to capture available federal funding.
Mass Notification System Enhancement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Mass-notification coverage for the city is unclear and insufficient, leaving residents and staff without reliable alerting during emergencies. This gap, compounded by recent flood damage, represents a critical compliance and operational risk tied to unmet NIMS and EOP/HSEEP mandates.
The opportunity
Recent flood events and active public safety grant opportunities create a compelling window to act now. Addressing this gap supports NIMS and EOP/HSEEP compliance, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the city's approved FY budget and emergency-focused capital priorities.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps across its public-facing web presence, creating legal exposure and reputational risk. Without remediation, residents—including those with disabilities—face barriers to accessing essential government services and information.
The opportunity
Web accessibility carries explicit compliance mandates with real legal consequences, making this an immediate priority within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing options available to Michigan municipalities can streamline procurement and reduce time-to-compliance while preserving limited IT budget.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's current investment in IT and software infrastructure is critically low, leaving cybersecurity and IT operations underresourced and vulnerable. Limited tooling increases exposure to cyber threats, operational disruptions, and compliance gaps that directly affect public service delivery.
The opportunity
Public safety technology grants, including COPS TEP and JAG, offer viable funding paths aligned to the city's cybersecurity and IT management needs within the current budget cycle. Acting now allows the city to leverage available grant windows, address risk before it escalates, and pursue right-sized solutions within constrained budget parameters.
