Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, relies on basic email for mass notification, and has no documented HSEEP-style after-action reports. Recent severe weather and a major transportation incident heighten risk, while NIMS and EOP compliance mandates carry real consequences — including loss of preparedness funding.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program and state-level Emergency Management budget increases provide direct, near-term funding pathways for this initiative. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance gaps, reduces operational risk, and strengthens community resilience before the next severe weather season.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hudsonville currently relies on city-managed email blasts rather than a dedicated mass-notification platform, limiting broad-reach alerting for residents and staff during emergencies. This gap, compounded by the absence of a publicly available EOP and overdue NIMS compliance requirements, elevates operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
FY 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program funding and state-level public safety budget increases provide direct pathways to address this gap with limited local match. Acting within the current grant window aligns with EOP modernization mandates, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens community-wide emergency response readiness.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hudsonville's budget-approved police fleet and motor pool capital program addresses documented safety incidents involving contracted Sheriff's Office cruisers. Rising liability pool renewal costs signal increasing financial exposure tied to fleet risk, making proactive investment a fiscal and operational priority.
The opportunity
The 2026 police services contract expiration creates a defined window for fleet safety and telematics investment, supported by an $817,000 capital grant and the FY 2026 COPS Technology and Equipment Program. Cooperative purchasing pathways are available to streamline procurement within current budget and fiscal planning cycles.
