Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a comprehensive EOP and has not implemented NIMS, creating critical compliance gaps under Michigan Section 19. Non-compliance risks loss of funding eligibility, and prior dam failures elevate urgency for a documented, township-wide emergency preparedness framework.
The opportunity
The Hazard Mitigation Plan update is overdue as of January 2024, making this a high-priority action ahead of the June 30 fiscal year-end. FEMA grant programs explicitly support emergency preparedness initiatives, offering a funded pathway to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience.
Township-Level Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No modern mass-notification system exists at the township level, leaving residents and staff without reliable alerting during emergencies. With active compliance mandates—including a Hazard Mitigation Plan update and Michigan Section 19 EOP requirements—this gap elevates both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Federal grants including HSGP, EMPG, and BRIC are actively available and directly eligible for this type of investment, reducing local funding burden. A planned 2026 siren system update signals near-term procurement activity, making now the critical window to align notification infrastructure, close compliance gaps, and protect public safety outcomes.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Compliance Update
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's Hazard Mitigation Plan passed its January 2024 compliance deadline, directly jeopardizing eligibility for FEMA grant funding. Historical dam failure exposure compounds the urgency, leaving residents and infrastructure at elevated and undocumented risk.
The opportunity
Acting now preserves eligibility for HSGP, EMPG, and BRIC grant programs that fund exactly this type of update, with the current fiscal cycle creating a narrow window. Completing the plan restores funding access, satisfies state and federal mandates, and strengthens community resilience.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An aging third-party fleet tracking system leaves high-value public safety apparatus inadequately monitored, with documented gaps in dash camera coverage and liability exposure. Recent capital vehicle acquisitions totaling over $385,000 underscore the scale of unprotected public assets.
The opportunity
Active capital vehicle budgets and an upcoming fiscal cycle create a timely window to address fleet safety gaps and reduce liability risk. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to government entities can simplify procurement and accelerate deployment within current budget authority.

Discuss this project →Closing the Cybersecurity Gap with Password Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A documented password management gap is exposing the organization to cybersecurity risk, with current security tooling spend critically low relative to overall IT investment. Without structured credential controls, public systems and sensitive data remain vulnerable to breach or unauthorized access.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) explicitly supports cybersecurity initiatives, offering a viable funding pathway with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current grant cycle and fiscal year aligns investment with available resources and reduces organizational risk before the next audit or compliance review.
