Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Paw Paw Fire Department lacks a documented, department-specific Emergency Operations Plan, with no public record of required EOP review or update compliance. A moderate-to-high preparedness gap score and identified exercise remediation needs elevate operational and compliance risk during emergency events.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness grants, HSGP, and BRIC funding paths carry deadlines in July 2026, creating a near-term window to address compliance gaps with limited local match. Budget-approved mass notification spending and active Hazard Mitigation Plan participation signal strong organizational readiness to act this fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Paw Paw Fire Department currently lacks a dedicated mass notification solution, relying on a county-level system that leaves a critical gap in municipal-level emergency communications. Budget has been approved for mass notification and pager upkeep, confirming an active spending line alongside unmet compliance needs tied to EOP review and emergency planning mandates.
The opportunity
Approved funding and a July 2026 grant deadline—aligned with FEMA preparedness programs including HSGP and BRIC—create a time-sensitive window to act. Establishing a municipally owned, scalable notification platform now reduces operational risk, closes documented preparedness gaps, and strengthens community-wide emergency response outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Telematics & Vehicle Management
Fleet Safety · Emergency Vehicle Operations
High Priority
About this project
The Paw Paw Fire Department faces documented safety risks from emergency vehicle incidents, with no dash cameras or telematics solutions currently in place. This gap creates financial and operational exposure, and FY 2026-27 budget has been approved for motor pool, vehicle maintenance, and equipment investment.
The opportunity
Approved fleet equipment funding for FY 2026-27 provides a near-term, defined path to act, and BRIC grant eligibility further supports telematics and smart infrastructure investment. Addressing this now reduces liability exposure and strengthens frontline safety for emergency responders and the public they serve.
Endpoint Management & IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
Legacy endpoint and patch management tooling is currently in place, creating operational risk as infrastructure demands grow alongside an approved PC refresh and a significant software platform upgrade. Limited visibility into annual IT spend constrains full budget planning, increasing the risk of uncoordinated investment and coverage gaps.
The opportunity
Active procurement approvals for hardware refresh and software upgrades signal a live, funded technology investment cycle aligned with near-term planning windows. Addressing endpoint modernization now reduces operational risk, improves IT continuity, and positions the entity to leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles available to Michigan government entities.

Discuss this project →Document & Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Web accessibility efforts are underway with budgeted maintenance, but gaps in document accessibility—particularly PDF and digital document compliance—may leave the entity exposed to ADA and Section 508 obligations. Unresolved document gaps present legal and equity risks for residents and staff relying on public-facing digital content.
The opportunity
Active website maintenance budgets and an upcoming library millage renewal create a practical funding path to close remaining document accessibility gaps within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure and ensures equitable access to public information for all community members.
