EOP Compliance & Emergency Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Sherwood Township faces uncertain EOP compliance status under Michigan's Publication 201/201a requirements and NIMS mandates, with CEO-signed reviews required every four years. Non-compliance risks loss of preparedness fund eligibility, and recent tornado declarations have intensified the urgency around emergency management readiness.
The opportunity
The 2026 BRIC grant deadline, active FEMA disaster declaration pursuit, and 2027 budget planning create a 90-day window to address compliance gaps and secure funding for resilience and communications infrastructure. Acting now positions the township to protect federal aid eligibility and strengthen community emergency response outcomes.
Mass Notification System Modernization for Township-Wide Alerts
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Sherwood Township has identified critical gaps in its mass notification capabilities, with an incumbent platform under review and a new emergency alert provider already approved. Michigan EOP compliance mandates, NIMS requirements, and recent tornado declarations elevate the urgency of ensuring reliable, township-wide emergency communications.
The opportunity
Active post-disaster recovery, an approved provider transition, and alignment with BRIC and HSGP grant eligibility create a strong, near-term funding path. Acting within the current procurement cycle supports EOP compliance, reduces risk of preparedness fund loss, and strengthens resident safety outcomes ahead of the 2026 grant deadline.
Web Accessibility & ADA-Compliant Website Redesign
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The township has an active RFP for a website redesign with a WCAG and ADA accessibility focus, signaling an immediate compliance gap in public-facing digital services. Failure to meet accessibility standards exposes the township to legal risk and limits equitable access to government information for all residents.
The opportunity
With a formal procurement already underway, this project is positioned for near-term award and aligns with current fiscal planning cycles. Addressing ADA compliance now reduces legal exposure, improves resident service delivery, and may be eligible for state or federal digital equity funding.

High Priority
About this project
A recent tornado disaster has exposed critical gaps in emergency response equipment and resilience infrastructure, compounding uncertainty around federal aid and EOP compliance under Michigan's mandated review cycle. Non-compliance with NIMS and state EOP requirements risks loss of preparedness funding eligibility and leaves residents underserved during future emergencies.
The opportunity
Active pursuit of a FEMA disaster declaration and the 2026 BRIC grant deadline create a narrow, high-value window to secure federally eligible funding for resilience and communications equipment. Aligning action with the 2027 budget planning cycle maximizes cost-sharing potential and strengthens long-term emergency preparedness outcomes for the community.
