Emergency Operations Plan Review & Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and shows no evidence of recent exercises, creating direct compliance risk under Michigan's MSP Pub.201 mandated 4-year EOP review cycle. Fragmented mass notification — including reliance on the county system and unresolved public complaints about sirens — further exposes residents and staff to emergency preparedness gaps.
The opportunity
The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and BRIC present a direct funding path to offset project costs, and the October–November budget and CIP decision window creates near-term timing urgency. Addressing compliance now reduces operational and legal risk while strengthening community-wide emergency response outcomes.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Current emergency alerting is fragmented across multiple systems, including a dependency on county infrastructure and public complaints about siren reliability. This gap undermines timely resident communication during emergencies and conflicts with Michigan's local EOP review requirements under MSP Pub.201.
The opportunity
FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and BRIC funding present a viable path to consolidate alerting with limited local match required. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle reduces compliance risk and strengthens community-wide emergency response outcomes.
Fleet Telematics & In-Cab Video Safety Integration
Fleet Safety · Capital Planning
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified the absence of in-cab video and telematics as a top fleet safety risk. Approved capital budget for a new fire truck and DPW dump trucks creates a direct, time-bound entry point to deploy driver safety monitoring across new assets before vehicles enter service.
The opportunity
Approved capital line items in the 2026 budget and CIP confirm funding is in place, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to simplify and accelerate procurement. Acting now ensures safety monitoring is built into new fleet assets from day one, reducing liability and protecting public works and fire personnel.
