Emergency Operations Plan Development and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and relies on county systems rather than its own emergency management infrastructure, creating direct NIMS compliance gaps. Recent severe weather events have heightened operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Adoption of the Midland County 2025 Hazard Mitigation Plan opens eligibility for FEMA mitigation funding, including HSGP and BRIC grant programs, with strong alignment to current fiscal planning cycles. Acting now closes critical compliance gaps, strengthens independent emergency response capacity, and positions the township to secure available federal dollars.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently relies on county-level systems for mass notification, creating a direct gap in independently reaching staff and residents during emergencies. Absent a standalone capability, NIMS compliance and EOP alignment requirements remain unmet, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Participation in the Midland County Hazard Mitigation Plan positions the township for HSGP and BRIC grant funding, creating a near-term window to close preparedness gaps with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance, strengthens independent emergency response, and protects residents through a simplified cooperative procurement path.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Current public-facing digital portals have identified gaps in meeting WCAG and ADA accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and barriers for residents with disabilities. Without remediation, the township risks non-compliance penalties and inequitable access to essential public services.
The opportunity
ADA and WCAG compliance mandates provide a clear, non-discretionary driver for action within the current planning cycle. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk, broadens resident access to services, and may align with state digital equity funding opportunities.
