Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available local Emergency Operations Plan, relies on county-wide mass notification without a local strategy, and must meet EMPG compliance conditions. Michigan EOP update requirements, NIMS mandates, and recent severe weather and heatwave declarations make this gap an immediate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Dedicated grant funding through HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG—alongside a FY2026 public safety budget line—creates a near-term window to close preparedness gaps and satisfy compliance mandates. Acting now reduces audit exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns capital investment with available funding cycles.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township relies on a county-wide mass notification platform without a localized alerting strategy, creating critical gaps in independent resident and staff communication during emergencies. This fragmented approach elevates operational risk and conflicts with EMPG compliance conditions and Michigan local EOP requirements.
The opportunity
FY2026 public safety budget increases and active emergency preparedness funding streams—including HSGP and BRIC—create a timely pathway to address notification gaps with limited local match required. Acting now aligns with near-term EMPG compliance conditions and strengthens the township's independent emergency response capacity.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing website has documented WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, and digital communications rely on fragmented tools including a basic website builder and PDF-based newsletters. This creates legal exposure under accessibility mandates and limits equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
Active procurement movement signals a near-term window to consolidate digital tools and close accessibility gaps before legal or audit risk escalates. General IT and software budget increases support investment, and this initiative aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county relies on legacy identity management and remote access tools that introduce access control and data security risks. FY2026 initiatives include hardware and software refreshes and renewal of existing security platforms, signaling a planned modernization cycle across the cybersecurity stack.
The opportunity
Active FY2026 budget allocations and recent security platform approvals confirm procurement readiness and institutional willingness to invest. Addressing identity and access gaps now reduces operational risk, supports compliance posture, and aligns with the current planning and funding cycle.
COPS TEP
Discuss this project →911 Dispatch Console & Radio Equipment Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
FY2026 budget includes approved line items for 911 equipment, dispatch console replacement, and radio upgrades, reflecting end-of-life and performance-driven needs. Gaps in dispatch infrastructure elevate operational risk for emergency response continuity and NIMS/EMPG compliance conditions.
The opportunity
With budget already approved for FY2026 and cooperative purchasing vehicles available, procurement can move quickly through the current planning cycle. Federal grant programs including HSGP and COPS TEP offer additional funding alignment, reducing local cost burden while strengthening public safety outcomes.
