Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Boon Township lacks a township-level Emergency Operations Plan, documented exercises, and active mass-notification outreach, while Wexford County has experienced recent declared emergencies. EOP review and NIMS adoption are required for federal funding eligibility, creating compounding compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
A new county Emergency Management Director, active grant programs aligned with preparedness, and positive state public safety funding signals create a timely window to act. Addressing these gaps now strengthens community resilience, satisfies compliance mandates, and positions the township to compete for available emergency management funding.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently depends on a county-managed mass-notification system with no local promotion or independent outreach capability, leaving residents underserved during emergencies. Recent declared emergencies in the county—including severe winter storms and flooding—underscore the operational and life-safety risk of this gap.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs aligned with NIMS compliance and emergency preparedness provide viable funding paths, and the ARPA reporting deadline in April 2026 signals near-term spending urgency. Establishing a township-managed or co-managed notification capability now strengthens resident safety, supports federal eligibility, and advances mission-critical emergency preparedness goals.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township website has an identified WCAG 2.1 AA compliance gap driven by a state-level accessibility mandate, with no advanced digital forms or accessibility features currently in place. This creates legal exposure and limits equitable resident access to public services and information.
The opportunity
A state-level accessibility standard creates a defined compliance driver, and the ARPA reporting deadline in April 2026 signals a near-term window to deploy remaining funds toward remediation. Addressing this gap now reduces legal risk, improves resident service delivery, and aligns with current fiscal-year planning.
Fleet Safety & Physical Security Infrastructure Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks documented fleet safety programs and telematics, creating untracked liability exposure for public assets and personnel. A funded initiative to deploy remaining ARPA dollars toward surveillance and physical security infrastructure signals an active, near-term capital spend requiring structured implementation.
The opportunity
The April 2026 ARPA reporting deadline creates immediate pressure to obligate remaining funds toward eligible safety infrastructure projects. Acting now ensures compliance with federal spending timelines, reduces fleet liability risk, and aligns with available grant programs supporting local government safety technology.
