Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and faces urgent NIMS compliance mandates tied to required EOP review cycles. Recent severe flooding and a prior 911 outage from power loss expose critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
An upcoming Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) deadline offers a direct funding path for EOP development and emergency management improvements, reducing reliance on a constrained local budget. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance gaps, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with fiscal-year planning cycles.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's mass notification capabilities are unclear, creating critical gaps in alerting residents and staff during emergencies such as severe flooding or infrastructure failures. Without a verified system in place, the township faces elevated operational risk and potential non-compliance with NIMS and EOP review requirements.
The opportunity
HSGP grant funding explicitly covers mass notification systems, offering a near-term pathway that reduces reliance on the township's limited general fund. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance mandates, closes a critical preparedness gap, and strengthens public safety outcomes for residents and first responders.
Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a defined WCAG/ADA website accessibility compliance requirement with a 2026–2027 deadline, leaving limited time to close existing gaps. Failure to act risks non-compliance, potential legal exposure, and inequitable access to public-facing digital services for residents.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 compliance window creates a clear and time-sensitive planning horizon aligned with upcoming fiscal cycles. Addressing accessibility now supports equitable public service delivery and may be eligible for state or cooperative procurement pathways that reduce local cost burden.
Fleet Telematics & Safety Risk Mitigation
Fleet Safety Management · Public Works & Fire Operations
High Priority
About this project
The township operates trucks and volunteer fire apparatus with identified safety risks in roadside operations, firefighter response, and equipment maintenance—creating measurable liability exposure. Without active monitoring or telematics, the township lacks data to proactively manage risk or demonstrate due diligence.
The opportunity
The TEP grant cycle, with an upcoming deadline, explicitly includes fleet telematics as an eligible expense—offering a direct funding path with limited local match required. Acting now aligns with the township's public safety priorities, reduces long-term liability, and positions the project within current grant windows.
Securing Township Credentials Against Cyber Risk
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks an enterprise password management solution, leaving credential-based access across operations unprotected. With an annual IT budget of just $1,420, the gap remains unaddressed despite known cybersecurity mandates, elevating risk to township systems and public data.
The opportunity
HSGP grant eligibility for cybersecurity and IT tools provides a low- or no-cost entry point ahead of the upcoming grant deadline. Acting within the current grant window allows the township to close a critical security gap without straining its limited general fund.
