Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a current EOP, township-branded mass notification, and documented HSEEP-style exercises, creating significant compliance and operational risk. Michigan mandates require EOP review, and reliance on county-managed alerts leaves residents without a locally controlled preparedness infrastructure.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grants with upcoming deadlines explicitly fund communications and preparedness equipment on FEMA's Authorized Equipment List, providing a clear funding path. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance mandates, closes documented preparedness gaps, and strengthens public safety outcomes for residents and staff.
Mass Notification & Siren System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Henrietta Township faces documented siren reliability failures and depends entirely on county-managed alert systems, leaving residents without township-branded, locally controlled mass notification. Allocated maintenance budgets signal readiness to act, but gaps in EOP documentation and HSEEP-style exercises compound operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Approved funding for siren maintenance and upgrades, combined with open BRIC and HSGP grant windows covering communications and preparedness equipment, creates a near-term procurement opportunity. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the township to close critical alerting gaps, establish local notification control, and meet Michigan EOP compliance requirements.
Fleet Safety and Vehicle Replacement Planning
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Two agency-owned vehicles were totaled, with one uninsured loss resulting in a $5,900 out-of-pocket cost, exposing gaps in fleet oversight and risk management. Budget-approved fire apparatus and vehicle replacement planning signals active capital deployment needs requiring structured procurement support.
The opportunity
Documented accident costs and approved replacement budgets create immediate justification for fleet safety improvements within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements offer compliant, streamlined procurement pathways that reduce administrative burden and accelerate deployment of safety solutions.

Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing web presence does not yet meet WCAG/ADA compliance requirements, creating legal and equity risk for residents seeking digital services. Paper-based firefighter and cadet application processes remain a barrier to operational efficiency and service delivery modernization.
The opportunity
WCAG/ADA mandates create near-term compliance urgency, while the active digitization initiative aligns with the current budget cycle for process improvements. Addressing both together maximizes public investment and reduces long-term administrative burden across departments.

Discuss this project →Centralized Credential & Identity Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented email ecosystem with mixed providers signals decentralized credential management and no unified identity security posture, exposing the organization to unauthorized access risks. While cybersecurity mandates are not yet formally documented, the operational gap represents a measurable compliance and data integrity risk.
The opportunity
FEMA's Authorized Equipment List includes cybersecurity tools eligible under HSGP, offering a potential funding path as formal mandates develop. Addressing credential management now aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle and reduces organizational exposure before requirements become enforceable.
Fire Department IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Fire Department IT support has been identified as a funded strategic initiative, yet gaps in budget visibility and aging infrastructure create operational risk. Without reliable IT systems, emergency responders face continuity vulnerabilities that can directly impact service delivery and public safety outcomes.
The opportunity
This is an active, near-term initiative with budget already allocated, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden. Advancing this project within the current fiscal cycle strengthens operational resilience and aligns with the department's documented strategic priorities.
