Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Park Township has an active, funded initiative to modernize its outdoor warning sirens and mass notification system, with documented gaps in transition readiness and exercise documentation. NIMS and EMPG compliance mandates reinforce urgency, elevating operational and public safety risk if gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
Capital expenditure is already approved and public safety millage renewals confirm sustained funding, making near-term action critical to project continuity. Grant pathways, including HSGP and BRIC, offer additional funding alignment for eligible emergency management improvements within the current cycle.
Outdoor Warning Siren & Mass-Notification Infrastructure Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Park Township has recently approved and installed new outdoor warning sirens, reflecting an active capital investment in emergency alerting infrastructure tied to NIMS and EMPG compliance requirements. Gaps remain in mass-notification transition, EOP documentation, and exercise records, elevating operational and compliance risk for residents and emergency personnel.
The opportunity
Allocated funding and an active procurement cycle create immediate momentum for expanding and completing this initiative. Eligible grant pathways, including HSGP and BRIC, support further investment, and integration with Ottawa County Central Dispatch signals opportunity for broader regional impact and improved public safety outcomes.
Emergency Operations Plan Development & Exercise Documentation
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Park Township lacks a current, compliant Emergency Operations Plan and has no documented exercises or reviews on record. With emergency management outsourced at the county level, the township bears direct exposure to NIMS and EMPG mandate violations and unmitigated operational risk.
The opportunity
NIMS and EMPG compliance deadlines create immediate urgency, and grant funding through HSGP and BRIC may offset local costs. A new Township Manager and recent leadership reorganization present a favorable window to initiate this foundational planning effort before the next fiscal cycle.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Program Implementation
Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks documented fleet safety technology—including dashcams and telematics—and has no formal fleet safety program on record. This gap creates preventable liability exposure and operational risk for staff, residents, and public assets.
The opportunity
Existing cellular infrastructure signals near-term readiness for telematics adoption, and cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing this gap now reduces liability, improves accountability, and supports responsible stewardship of public fleet assets.
