Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Porter Township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and an unconfirmed mass-notification system, leaving critical preparedness gaps. NIMS implementation and EOP review are identified compliance mandates, and current reliance on county-level systems creates operational continuity risk.
The opportunity
Significant state-level public safety funding is available and can be allocated locally, aligning with the current fiscal environment. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and positions the township to leverage cooperative procurement pathways.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks documented fleet safety technology, including dashcams and telematics systems, leaving rural crash exposure and incident response gaps unaddressed. Without real-time monitoring capabilities, the agency faces elevated operational risk and limited ability to document or reconstruct roadway incidents.
The opportunity
State-level public safety funding increases and law enforcement technology grants explicitly covering fleet safety systems create a strong near-term budget opportunity. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are confirmed, streamlining procurement and accelerating deployment within the current fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Porter Township's public-facing website does not meet WCAG 2.1 or ADA compliance standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. A fragmented digital presence across platforms increases remediation complexity and ongoing compliance risk.
The opportunity
WCAG and ADA mandates create real and present legal and operational urgency for remediation or platform consolidation. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces liability, improves equitable resident access, and may align with state or federal digital equity funding pathways.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Porter Township lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan and a confirmed mass-notification system, creating measurable gaps in NIMS compliance and community emergency readiness. Concurrent MDOT road activity and a proposed Narcan deployment signal growing operational exposure across both emergency response and traffic safety.
The opportunity
Significant state-level public safety funding—including revenue sharing increases and communications system allocations—creates a timely pathway to address preparedness and fleet safety gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with compliance mandates, cooperative procurement options, and leadership's stated strategic priorities.
