Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a mass notification system, and an identified Emergency Management Coordinator. NIMS compliance and EOP exercises are explicitly required, with non-compliance risking loss of federal funds and increasing liability exposure.
The opportunity
Federal and state grant programs, including active preparedness funding cycles, provide clear paths to address these mandated gaps with limited local match. Participation in the county Hazard Mitigation Plan signals near-term decision readiness, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate compliant procurement.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has no mass notification system in place, leaving residents and staff without a reliable emergency communications channel during incidents. This gap is a documented preparedness deficiency and elevates compliance risk under NIMS and Emergency Operations Plan mandates.
The opportunity
Emergency preparedness grant funding—including HSGP and state EMPG programs—is actively available and directly applicable to mass notification infrastructure. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle closes a critical compliance gap and strengthens community-wide emergency response with limited local match required.
Fleet Telematics & Safety Monitoring for Public Works
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township operates fire apparatus, tanker and rescue units, and road maintenance equipment that currently lack telematics and dash camera coverage, creating gaps in risk management and operator accountability. Increased fleet activity tied to a fully funded paving initiative elevates the urgency for real-time safety monitoring across public works operations.
The opportunity
The active, fully funded paving project creates an immediate and documented context for fleet safety investment, aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle. State and federal equipment and preparedness grant programs may offer eligible funding pathways, reducing local match burden while improving public works safety outcomes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing digital properties have identified WCAG/ADA compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to government services for residents. While classified as a moderate compliance driver, unresolved gaps carry ongoing liability risk and undermine public trust in digital service delivery.
The opportunity
Remediating accessibility gaps can be staged by risk severity to align with current budget cycles, making near-term action fiscally manageable. Addressing compliance now reduces legal exposure, improves resident access to essential services, and positions the township ahead of increasing federal and state digital accessibility enforcement.
Electronic Pollbook Procurement & Endpoint Security
Election Administration · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township has a budget-approved initiative to procure and deploy an electronic pollbook, representing an active, funded technology acquisition. No endpoint or credential management solution has been identified, leaving municipal devices—including election equipment—without a defined security posture.
The opportunity
With budget already approved, this procurement is actionable within the current fiscal cycle and can be structured through cooperative purchasing vehicles to streamline acquisition. Addressing endpoint security alongside the pollbook deployment reduces operational risk and strengthens the integrity of public-facing election infrastructure.
