Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Alignment
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has limited local emergency management staffing, and documented gaps in NIMS alignment. Recent severe flooding declarations and infrastructure failures underscore the operational and compliance risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including HSGP and BRIC offer direct funding pathways for emergency communications and mitigation projects, reducing local fiscal burden. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses overdue compliance mandates and strengthens community resilience before the next declared emergency.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has no documented mass notification system, leaving residents and staff without reliable alerts during emergencies — a gap made urgent by recent flooding and infrastructure failures. Compliance mandates for EOP review and NIMS alignment remain unmet, compounding operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
With an emergency preparedness gap score of 95 and no incumbent system to replace, this project is positioned for immediate action. Federal funding through homeland security and infrastructure resilience programs may apply, and cooperative procurement vehicles can streamline acquisition within the current fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public website lacks a published WCAG/ADA remediation plan, creating legal exposure and inequitable access to government information and services for residents with disabilities. Without a structured compliance roadmap, the entity remains vulnerable to complaints, litigation, and reputational risk.
The opportunity
Recurring board meeting cycles provide consistent decision windows to advance a remediation plan and reduce ongoing legal liability. Addressing this now improves equitable constituent service delivery and aligns with cooperative procurement vehicles that streamline implementation.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently operates its fleet without telematics or driver safety monitoring, creating measurable operational risk — particularly during winter weather conditions. With a new fire truck under capital consideration, the absence of a monitoring program leaves both assets and personnel without data-driven oversight.
The opportunity
The active fleet capital planning cycle, including fire apparatus procurement, creates a natural window to bundle telematics adoption and reduce long-term liability. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to Michigan townships can streamline procurement and support cost-effective implementation within the current budget cycle.
