Emergency Operations & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a published Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and documented HSEEP-style exercises, leaving it out of NIMS compliance and at risk of losing federal preparedness funding. A recent flooding event and Major Disaster declaration for Presque Isle County have intensified operational pressure and exposed critical gaps in mass notification capability.
The opportunity
A HSGP grant deadline of July 2026 creates a near-term, defined funding window through FEMA preparedness pathways opened by the active Major Disaster declaration. Acting within the current 90-day window aligns compliance remediation, grant eligibility, and emergency committee formation to reduce risk and strengthen community resilience.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety and Dash Camera System Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Department has documented multiple patrol vehicle incidents, non-functioning dash cameras during critical events including a shooting, and $110,000 in vehicle replacement costs. Fire department fleet needs compound the urgency, leaving staff and the public exposed to unmitigated operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
Documented safety incidents and high replacement costs create a compelling case for near-term action, and external grant funding may be available to offset procurement costs. Advancing this project within the current fiscal cycle reduces liability exposure, strengthens officer accountability, and supports responsible stewardship of public safety resources.

Discuss this project →Fire Station Repairs and PPE Procurement
Public Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The fire department faces immediate needs for station repairs and turnout gear replacement, with PPE gaps posing direct safety risks to personnel. Grant funding is actively being pursued, and NIMS compliance requirements add regulatory urgency to resolving these operational deficiencies.
The opportunity
Active alignment with state and federal public safety funding programs—including FEMA preparedness grants—creates a near-term procurement window to address critical infrastructure and equipment gaps. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces local cost burden and strengthens firefighter safety and emergency readiness.

Discuss this project →Website ADA Compliance & Digital Accessibility Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Existing gaps in digital accessibility across public-facing web properties create legal exposure and limit equitable resident access to government services. Unresolved ADA compliance deficiencies carry ongoing litigation risk and may conflict with federal accessibility mandates.
The opportunity
Remediating accessibility gaps now reduces legal liability and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle, with staged remediation allowing prioritization by severity. Improved digital access supports equitable service delivery and strengthens the township's standing with state and federal oversight bodies.
Cybersecurity Awareness & Phishing Prevention Program
Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Credential Protection
High Priority
About this project
Foundational cybersecurity practices and phishing awareness represent an identified gap in this entity's security posture, leaving credentials and sensitive public data at risk. Addressing these gaps is increasingly tied to compliance eligibility and operational continuity for staff and residents.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs are increasingly conditioning eligibility on demonstrated cybersecurity baselines, making this an urgent priority within the current funding cycle. Stable leadership provides a consistent environment to launch a security awareness program that reduces risk and strengthens long-term compliance standing.
