Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented HSEEP-style exercises, and a designated Emergency Management Coordinator. This creates critical compliance gaps under NIMS and Michigan Publication 201 EOP review requirements, elevating operational and liability risk for the community.
The opportunity
Active grant alignment with BRIC and HSGP cycles presents a near-term funding pathway with strong local match potential, supported by recent Fire Authority grant activity. Addressing foundational preparedness gaps now reduces compliance exposure and positions the authority for sustained investment in public safety readiness.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority currently operates two separate platforms for web alerts and emergency alerts, creating fragmented workflows and potential gaps in unified public communication during incidents. This split ecosystem, combined with absent EOP documentation and NIMS compliance obligations, elevates both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
An active capital and station project with concurrent budget planning creates a timely procurement window for communications and mass-notification upgrades. Relevant federal grant programs align with this initiative, and consolidating notification workflows now strengthens compliance posture, reduces incident response gaps, and supports responsible stewardship of public safety resources.
Warning Siren Infrastructure Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Warning siren gaps identified in the county Hazard Mitigation Plan signal a documented deficiency in outdoor public alerting infrastructure, elevating regional emergency management risk. Without action, communities remain underserved during critical weather and hazard events, compounding existing preparedness and NIMS compliance gaps.
The opportunity
HMP inclusion positions this as a regionally prioritized project eligible for BRIC and HSGP grant funding, with active budget planning creating a near-term procurement window. Advancing now strengthens public safety outcomes, supports compliance, and leverages available federal funding before the current grant cycle closes.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Integration
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority lacks documented in-vehicle video and telematics capabilities across its active fleet, creating measurable liability exposure and a gap in operational safety oversight. An incoming engine delivery expected in May 2026 signals active fleet expansion, making now a critical window for integrated telematics onboarding.
The opportunity
Aligning telematics procurement with the May 2026 asset delivery avoids costly retrofitting and maximizes onboarding efficiency. Grant funding with potential fleet-resilience eligibility and cooperative procurement pathways support a fiscally responsible, near-term implementation.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority has an active commitment to WCAG 2.0 A/AA standards for its public-facing digital properties, creating a clear compliance obligation. Without documented remediation progress, the organization faces legal exposure and risks excluding residents with disabilities from essential services.
The opportunity
A healthy general fund balance and new one-time city funding provide available budget capacity to advance remediation within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now reduces legal and reputational risk while ensuring equitable digital access for all community members.
