Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hudson Township has critical emergency preparedness gaps, including no documented Emergency Operations Plan, no HSEEP-style exercises, and unresolved emergency facility availability issues. With a preparedness score rated at the highest urgency level, the township faces significant operational and compliance risk in the event of a declared emergency.
The opportunity
A state-level omnibus budget includes $3.4M in new emergency management grant funding, and an upcoming budget hearing creates an active decision window. Addressing these gaps now reduces liability, strengthens community resilience, and positions the township to capture available funding before the cycle closes.
Fleet Telematics and Driver Safety Monitoring Deployment
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township operates a fleet with no dash cameras, telematics, or driver safety monitoring, creating accountability and evidence gaps across Fire Department and general fleet operations. An uninsured drone and an aging brush truck with a stalled replacement compound immediate safety and financial risk.
The opportunity
Multiple grant deadlines in July 2026 and $1.0M in state public safety funding create a near-term window to address fleet safety gaps with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces liability exposure and supports cooperative procurement pathways already familiar to the township.
COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Ballot Drop Box Surveillance Retention Compliance
Election Security · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Current video surveillance for absentee ballot drop boxes retains footage for only 60 days, falling short of the legally mandated 75-day retention requirement. This gap creates direct legal exposure and operational risk tied to a near-term, enforceable compliance deadline.
The opportunity
Closing this retention gap is a well-scoped, deadline-driven project with a clear compliance justification for investment within the current budget cycle. Eligible public safety and election security funding pathways may offset costs while reducing legal liability and protecting election integrity.
Cybersecurity and Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An ongoing software transition away from Banyon Data Solutions and a fragmented HR/payroll ecosystem have introduced credential and endpoint exposure risks. These gaps, combined with manual process dependencies, create vulnerabilities that could compromise township data integrity and operational continuity.
The opportunity
COPS TEP, JAG, and HSGP grant programs explicitly cover cybersecurity investments with deadlines in July 2026, offering a clear funding path aligned with the current decision window. Addressing endpoint and credential management now reduces active risk and positions the township ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Township Mass Notification Independence and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hudson Township relies on a county-operated mass notification system that may not fully address local emergency communication needs, creating a dependency gap. With no confirmed EOP and identified emergency preparedness deficiencies, the township faces elevated operational and compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The active 2026 municipal budget review and available state emergency management grant funding create a near-term window to act. Establishing a township-controlled notification capability strengthens local emergency response, reduces county dependency, and aligns with public safety compliance expectations.
