Emergency Operations Plan Review and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's EOP has not been formally reviewed since 2023, and dedicated emergency preparedness funding remains absent. A recent Presidential Major Disaster Declaration tied to flooding underscores the urgency, while the Michigan Emergency Management Act and NIMS compliance mandates require a current, actionable plan.
The opportunity
A $90,000 disaster response allocation and high-alignment grant programs provide a near-term funding pathway with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal window—alongside new Fire Department leadership—positions the township to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience before the next declared emergency.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's current mass notification infrastructure is outdated, with legacy warning sirens being phased out and no modern replacement in place. This gap creates operational and compliance risk under the Michigan Emergency Management Act and NIMS, leaving residents and staff without reliable emergency alerting.
The opportunity
A Presidential Major Disaster Declaration and a dedicated $90,000 disaster response allocation establish a clear near-term funding pathway. BRIC and HSGP grant eligibility further supports this initiative, making the current fiscal cycle an ideal window to advance procurement and close a critical public safety gap.
Modernizing Fire Fleet Safety and Telematics
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department operates an aging fleet without in-vehicle video or telematics, creating blind spots in driver behavior monitoring, incident documentation, and vehicle lifecycle planning. These gaps elevate operational risk and complicate accountability for a department already navigating station upgrades and equipment modernization priorities.
The opportunity
An existing Fire Capital allocation provides a near-term funding pathway, and access to a confirmed cooperative contract streamlines procurement within current budget cycles. Acting now supports the incoming Fire Chief's ability to establish operational priorities and reduce fleet-related liability before the next fiscal year.
