Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan, relies solely on broadcast EAS for mass notification, and has limited documented exercises. NIMS implementation and Hazard Mitigation Plan compliance mandates (HSEEP), compounded by recent FEMA major-disaster and state emergency declarations, create direct and immediate regulatory pressure.
The opportunity
Active FEMA disaster declarations and EMPG requirements have opened significant new funding streams, and the township's grant-eligible status positions it well for near-term action. Addressing preparedness gaps now aligns with the current decision window, reduces compliance risk, and strengthens public safety outcomes for residents.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently relies on broadcast Emergency Alert System (EAS) for mass notification, limiting targeting, reach, and reliability during incidents. Gaps in EOP documentation and notification infrastructure elevate compliance risk under NIMS mandates and leave residents and staff underserved during emergencies.
The opportunity
Recent disaster declarations have unlocked new emergency funding streams, and HSGP grant alignment creates a near-term window to modernize notification capabilities with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports NIMS compliance, strengthens hazard mitigation planning, and improves outcomes for residents during declared emergencies.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing digital portals face documented WCAG/ADA compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. With an existing CMS already in place, unresolved accessibility issues represent both a regulatory risk and an equity concern for the community.
The opportunity
WCAG/ADA obligations carry no grace period, making remediation an immediate priority that can be staged by risk severity to align with current budget cycles. Addressing compliance now reduces legal liability, improves equitable public access, and positions the township for eligible state and federal digital equity funding.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
Caldwell Township currently lacks any documented fleet safety or telematics system, creating a gap in operational visibility, driver accountability, and risk management. Without baseline monitoring, the township faces elevated liability exposure and limited ability to optimize public vehicle operations.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements are already in place, reducing procurement complexity and timeline for fleet technology adoption. Addressing this gap proactively during the current planning cycle positions the township to reduce operational risk and strengthen stewardship of public assets before incidents occur.
