Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, creating significant compliance risk against NIMS requirements and Michigan EOP review cycles. Historical notification failures during severe weather events and undocumented integration with county mass notification systems further expose residents and staff to preventable preparedness gaps.
The opportunity
The FY2026 HSGP grant cycle provides a direct, time-sensitive funding path for emergency management and mass notification initiatives, with additional support available through Michigan fire equipment grant programs. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance and operational risk while strengthening community-level emergency response outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department relies on a county-operated mass notification system with undocumented agency-level integration, creating historical gaps in emergency alerting. This exposes the community to critical public safety risk and places the agency out of compliance with NIMS and HSEEP requirements.
The opportunity
The FY2026 HSGP grant cycle explicitly covers equipment costs for mass notification technology, offering a direct funding pathway with strong alignment to current preparedness gaps. Acting within this grant window reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community alerting, and advances mission-critical emergency response outcomes.

Fleet Safety · Emergency Response
High Priority
About this project
A reported fatal apparatus overturn and recent pumper acquisition highlight active fleet investment alongside unresolved vehicle safety monitoring gaps. Without structured safety oversight, fire departments face elevated operational risk, liability exposure, and potential harm to personnel and the public.
The opportunity
The Michigan Fire Equipment Grant Program offers awards up to $50,000 per local government, providing a direct funding path for fleet safety initiatives. Acting within the current grant window aligns investment with new apparatus deployment and strengthens personnel safety and operational accountability.

Emergency Management · Multi-Agency Coordination
High Priority
About this project
Recent participation in a regional inter-local agreement highlights coordination priorities, but integration gaps between agency-level and county-level systems continue to hinder multi-agency response. NIMS compliance mandates, overdue EOP review cycles, and documented notification failures elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program and state fire equipment grant funding offer direct pathways to address preparedness gaps with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window strengthens NIMS compliance, closes interoperability gaps, and improves coordinated response outcomes for residents.
