Township Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has outsourced emergency management to the county, creating significant operational and regulatory exposure. Michigan's EOP review requirements under Publication 201a represent a direct compliance mandate, leaving the township vulnerable to audit findings and gaps in coordinated emergency response.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness grant programs, including HSGP and BRIC, provide viable funding pathways for emergency planning and response infrastructure with strong alignment to current grant cycles. Acting now addresses an immediate compliance gap, reduces operational risk, and positions the township to leverage available federal funds before the window closes.

Discuss this project →Township Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has no local mass notification system, leaving residents and staff without a reliable alert mechanism during emergencies. With emergency management outsourced to the county, the township lacks direct control over notifications and faces gaps in meeting Michigan EOP review requirements.
The opportunity
Active investment in emergency services infrastructure and high preparedness gaps signal leadership readiness to act. FEMA preparedness grants—including HSGP and BRIC—are eligible funding pathways, and aligning this project with the current fiscal cycle supports compliance and strengthens local emergency response outcomes.
FEMA HSGP
Discuss this project →911 CAD System Modernization for Regional Dispatch
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Upper Peninsula lacks a modern, unified 911 Computer-Aided Dispatch system, creating operational gaps in emergency response coordination across the region. Active procurement for 911 room modifications signals an in-progress effort, while Michigan EOP compliance mandates and regional service demands elevate urgency.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness grants, including HSGP and BRIC, explicitly fund interoperable communications and emergency response infrastructure, offering a viable funding path with limited local match. Acting within the current procurement cycle aligns capital investment with compliance requirements and strengthens life-safety outcomes across the region.

Discuss this project →Paramedic Drug Dosing Clinical Decision Support
Emergency Medical Services · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Field paramedics currently lack standardized clinical decision support tools for drug dosing, introducing risk of medication errors during emergency response. This high-urgency initiative reflects a recognized gap in patient safety and EMS operational readiness for the township.
The opportunity
Active procurement posture in emergency services infrastructure, including ambulance acquisition and 911 system upgrades, signals readiness to advance this initiative within the current planning cycle. FEMA preparedness grants and fire equipment millage reserves may offer eligible funding pathways with limited local match required.
Fire Fleet Telematics & In-Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department operates an aging fleet with limited repair policies and no documented in-vehicle video or telematics solution, creating direct operational and safety gaps for personnel and the public. Without visibility into vehicle health and driver activity, the township faces elevated liability and service continuity risk.
The opportunity
Recent large fleet investments and a healthy fire equipment millage balance signal near-term readiness to act, and active ambulance procurement confirms fleet spending is already underway. Addressing telematics now aligns with the current budget cycle, supports cooperative procurement pathways, and strengthens frontline safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Credential Security and Identity Access Controls
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township operates across mixed and hosted email environments without centralized identity management, leaving credential and access control vulnerabilities unaddressed. This gap increases exposure to unauthorized access and data breaches, with no current framework in place to enforce consistent security policies across users and systems.
The opportunity
With no incumbent solution in place, this is an ideal entry point to establish foundational identity and endpoint security ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Bundling identity management with active IT initiatives such as PC replacement can maximize efficiency and stewardship of public funds.
