Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Marengo Township lacks a clearly documented Emergency Operations Plan, a dedicated Emergency Management Coordinator, and township-specific exercise records, creating significant NIMS compliance and operational gaps. Without local and county plan integration, the township faces elevated risk to public safety continuity and regulatory standing.
The opportunity
The FEMA/EMPG application window in July 2026 and alignment with the County Hazard Mitigation Plan create a near-term funding pathway with strong grant eligibility. Acting now enables compliance, strengthens preparedness, and positions the township to access mitigation grant funding before the deadline closes.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently relies on Facebook for public alerts, creating a critical gap in emergency communications infrastructure with limited reach and reliability during incidents. Without a dedicated mass notification platform, the township faces elevated operational risk and compliance exposure tied to NIMS implementation and Emergency Operations Plan requirements.
The opportunity
Upcoming grant deadlines in mid-2026 provide a funded path to address this communications gap with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with available emergency management funding and strengthens community-wide alert readiness and compliance posture.
Fleet Telematics and Dash Camera Deployment
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Fire apparatus and emergency response vehicles currently lack telematics and dash camera coverage, limiting incident documentation and driver behavior oversight. This gap presents operational and liability risk for a township with frequent emergency response activity.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined, cost-effective acquisition path aligned with the township's current technology procurement activity and budget planning cycle. Proactive deployment now reduces incident liability exposure and supports long-term fleet accountability before costs escalate.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The township operates within a Microsoft 365 environment without confirmed enterprise endpoint or credential management controls in place, creating measurable security and operational gaps. Active IT budget line items and a Digital Connections Committee signal that technology procurement decisions are in motion.
The opportunity
An Emerging Needs Fund and an established annual IT spend indicate available budget pathways for infrastructure investment within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing endpoint and access management gaps now reduces operational risk and positions the township for sustainable, secure service delivery.
