Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces significant emergency preparedness gaps, including outdated EOPs, undocumented exercises, and fragmented mass-notification systems, with active compliance mandates tied to NIMS and Michigan EOP guidance. These gaps elevate operational and public safety risk for residents, students, and staff.
The opportunity
Multiple aligned federal grant programs are available now, and budget actions expected in June 2026 create a near-term decision window. A recently appointed Public Safety Director and an actively grant-seeking Emergency Management Coordinator signal strong organizational readiness to act this fiscal cycle.
Mass Notification System Unification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently operates a split emergency alert system combining sirens and a website, creating communication gaps that could delay or limit public reach during critical incidents. Compliance with NIMS and state EOP guidance, combined with outdated notification infrastructure, elevates both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Active leadership focus on emergency preparedness, available Homeland Security and related grant funding, and cooperative purchasing vehicles create a timely path to unify notification capabilities. Addressing this now reduces incident response risk, supports compliance mandates, and aligns with near-term budget and procurement cycles.
Fire Communications Equipment Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department has identified aging communications equipment — including pagers and radios — as a strategic modernization priority, alongside a PPE refresh. Outdated communications infrastructure elevates operational risk for first responders and can compromise coordinated emergency response.
The opportunity
Budget actions are scheduled for June 2026, providing a well-defined procurement window with funding already allocated within the fire department budget. Grants such as AFG and SAFER may offset additional costs, making this an ideal cycle to advance readiness and reduce communications risk.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified gaps in web accessibility, with a mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. Existing digital assets require remediation to ensure equitable public access and avoid legal and compliance risk exposure.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance is a non-discretionary requirement, making this a near-term priority to reduce legal liability and ensure equitable service delivery. Addressing remediation within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance posture and aligns with broader digital modernization goals.
