Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Enhancement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Despite an existing EOP, critical gaps remain in exercise documentation, after-action reviews, mass-notification governance, and NIMS compliance. Recent severe storm declarations and infrastructure failures have elevated operational risk for residents and emergency personnel.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs explicitly supporting emergency communications and incident management offer direct funding paths during the current cycle, offsetting pressure from reduced local grant funds. Addressing these gaps now advances compliance, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with active leadership investment in emergency management modernization.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Macomb Township has identified public warning system upgrades and generator replacements as high-priority emergency management initiatives, but both remain unfunded and unprocured. Recent severe storm declarations and gaps in mass-notification governance elevate operational risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grant programs directly support emergency communications and infrastructure resilience, offering viable funding paths with limited local match. Acting within the current grant cycle and upcoming fiscal planning window positions the township to close critical preparedness gaps and meet EOP and NIMS compliance requirements.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Macomb Township has an active WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance initiative underway, with identified gaps in public-facing digital portals that create legal exposure and limit equitable access for residents with disabilities. Remediation is a clear mandate requiring near-term action to reduce compliance and litigation risk.
The opportunity
With active procurement underway and budget planning cycles approaching, this is an optimal window to advance remediation efforts and close compliance gaps efficiently. Addressing accessibility now supports public equity goals, reduces legal liability, and aligns with cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Safety Monitoring Implementation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks telematics, dashcams, and internal fleet safety audits, leaving vehicles and personnel without structured oversight. A recent fire truck capital investment highlights the operational and liability risk of managing high-value public assets without safety monitoring tools.
The opportunity
The timing of a major fleet capital purchase creates a natural entry point to establish telematics and safety monitoring before gaps compound. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement, and the project aligns with upcoming budget planning cycles.

Discuss this project →IT Modernization and Cybersecurity Consolidation
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Active IT modernization efforts and existing cybersecurity tooling reveal gaps in endpoint management and identity security, while vacant IT positions increase operational strain. Consolidating these functions reduces risk, improves efficiency, and supports continuity of public services.
The opportunity
Procurement activity and a substantial annual IT and software budget confirm readiness to act within the current planning cycle. Cybersecurity investments may be eligible for HSGP funding, offering a cost-effective path to strengthening infrastructure and reducing workload on understaffed teams.
