Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented after-action reports, and relies on a county-level opt-in notification system rather than a city-wide push alert capability. Recent severe weather declarations underscore the operational gap, and EOP/NIMS alignment is required to maintain eligibility for preparedness funding.
The opportunity
State-level funding proposals, including a dedicated appropriation for Emergency Management and Homeland Security, provide a direct budget pathway aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, restores preparedness funding eligibility, and strengthens community resilience before the next declared emergency.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's current mass notification capability is county-managed and opt-in only, preventing city-wide push alerts during emergencies. This critical gap undermines resident safety, limits emergency response effectiveness, and jeopardizes EOP/NIMS compliance required for preparedness funding eligibility.
The opportunity
Recent severe weather declarations and active state and federal emergency management funding—including Homeland Security Grant Program resources—create a timely window to close this preparedness gap. Acting now supports EOP/NIMS compliance, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with current budget planning cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department is in an active planning phase for Emergency Operations Center upgrades and hazard mitigation, yet critical gaps remain — including no publicly available EOP, opt-in-only mass notification, and no documented after-action reviews. These deficiencies create compliance exposure under NIMS/EOP alignment requirements tied to federal preparedness funding eligibility.
The opportunity
State-level public safety funding — including a $50M revenue-sharing grant program and a $5M Emergency Management appropriation — creates direct budget alignment for this initiative now. Acting within this window advances NIMS compliance, closes preparedness gaps, and positions the jurisdiction to protect residents before the next severe weather event.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a hard WCAG 2.1/ADA compliance deadline of April 24, 2026 for its public-facing web presence, with identified accessibility gaps in existing infrastructure. Failure to comply risks legal exposure and inequitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The FY2026/2027 budget reflects a planned increase in software spend from $8K to $40K, signaling allocated capacity to act now. Addressing this before the April 2026 deadline reduces compliance risk and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.

Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
A documented police pursuit rollover and a 28.4% insurance premium increase signal serious vehicle safety and liability exposure across public safety and fleet operations. The absence of formal safety technology leaves the department without data-driven risk controls or defensible incident documentation.
The opportunity
Rising insurance costs create a direct financial case for telematics investment, with potential premium reductions offsetting implementation expenses. Cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement within the current budget cycle, aligning with planned public safety spending increases.
