Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Allouez Township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and relies on county-level outsourcing for emergency management, creating significant compliance exposure under Michigan's mandated EOP review cycle. This gap—compounded by the absence of a documented mass-notification system—elevates operational and public safety risk for township residents and staff.
The opportunity
Multiple FEMA grant programs with near-term deadlines directly fund EOP development and emergency preparedness initiatives, offering a well-aligned funding path with limited local match requirements. The township's active participation in the Keweenaw County Hazard Mitigation Plan and an ongoing annual budget cycle make this an urgent, strategically timed opportunity to close critical compliance and readiness gaps.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a documented mass-notification system, a gap exposed by a recent phone system outage that disrupted staff and resident communications. Combined with an overdue Emergency Operations Plan review cycle, this creates significant compliance and operational risk during emergencies.
The opportunity
Active FEMA grant opportunities provide a clear funding path with upcoming deadlines, making this an ideal moment to close a critical preparedness gap. Acting now aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle, supports EOP compliance mandates, and strengthens emergency response outcomes for residents and staff.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 Level AA and ADA compliance across its public-facing digital presence, creating legal exposure and reputational risk. Unresolved accessibility barriers limit equitable resident access to government services and signal a recognized compliance obligation requiring near-term action.
The opportunity
With the annual budget process currently active, there is a timely window to fund remediation efforts and reduce legal and compliance risk before the next fiscal cycle closes. Addressing these gaps now improves equitable service delivery and may align with state or federal accessibility funding pathways.

Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified moderate risk exposure across its public safety and public works vehicle fleet, with no major incidents on record but a recognized gap in proactive risk reduction. Without telematics or vehicle safety monitoring in place, operational liability and driver safety remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
A recent capital grant award signals active infrastructure spending, and cooperative procurement vehicles are available to streamline acquisition within the current budget cycle. Addressing fleet safety now reduces operational risk and positions the township to leverage existing funding momentum.
