Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Bergland Township lacks a publicly available Township-level Emergency Operations Plan, creating significant regulatory and operational risk. Biennial EOP review mandates and Hazard Mitigation Plan requirements are unmet, leaving residents and staff without a documented emergency response framework.
The opportunity
Multiple federal grant programs—including hazard mitigation and homeland security funding streams—are directly applicable and provide a strong near-term funding path with limited local match. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance mandates, closes critical preparedness gaps, and aligns with the township's stated goal to strengthen emergency communications.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a documented mass-notification system and depends on county-level services for public alerting, limiting independent emergency communications. This gap is a cited preparedness deficiency and conflicts with mandates requiring a current Hazard Mitigation Plan and regular EOP review.
The opportunity
Public alerting systems are explicitly eligible under active federal grant programs, offering a strong funding path with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses compliance risk, strengthens resident safety, and aligns with the township's stated goal of improving emergency communications.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Compliance and Renewal
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a regulatory compliance gap with no confirmed current Hazard Mitigation Plan on record, risking ineligibility for key federal funding streams. Without an up-to-date HMP, the township remains exposed to both audit risk and reduced capacity to respond to natural hazard events.
The opportunity
BRIC and HMGP grant programs explicitly identify hazard mitigation planning as an eligible expense, offering a funded path forward with compliance deadlines creating near-term urgency. Acting within the current grant window positions the township to close its compliance gap and preserve access to federal disaster preparedness funding.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's small fleet and volunteer fire department face documented safety and liability risks from aging equipment and the absence of dashcams or telematics. Without visibility into vehicle operations, the township lacks the data needed to manage risk proactively or support insurance and compliance requirements.
The opportunity
An adopted Capital Improvements Plan with dedicated fire and road funding signals near-term spending capacity aligned to this need. Addressing fleet safety now leverages existing budget momentum, supports stewardship of public assets, and may qualify for cooperative purchasing programs that simplify procurement.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified a compliance gap in its public-facing digital presence, with a commitment to building an ADA-compliant website still pending execution. Audit deficiencies compound the risk, signaling broader operational vulnerabilities that affect equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
An active procurement timeline and low internal IT budget make this an ideal candidate for cooperative purchasing or grant-eligible funding pathways. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes a compliance gap, reduces legal exposure, and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.
