Emergency Operations Plan Development for Grant Township
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Grant Township has no public Emergency Operations Plan, no documented local exercises, and relies on county-level resources for mass notification — gaps exposed by a severe flooding incident in April 2026. NIMS adoption and training mandates add compliance urgency to an already critical preparedness shortfall.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness and mitigation grant programs, including BRIC and HSGP, provide direct funding pathways for township-level emergency management initiatives with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses documented compliance gaps, reduces operational risk, and strengthens community resilience.
Township-Owned Mass Notification System Deployment
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has no independent alerting capability, relying entirely on a county-operated system that limits local control over emergency communications. This gap was exposed during the April 2026 flooding incident and conflicts with NIMS compliance obligations for local emergency preparedness.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness grants, including BRIC and HSGP, are eligible funding sources that can offset local costs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses an active compliance mandate and reduces operational risk to residents following a recent severe weather event.
Web & Document Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a binding WCAG/ADA compliance deadline of April 24, 2026, with no remediation plan currently in place. Document-level accessibility gaps persist despite a recent website relaunch, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access.
The opportunity
The active compliance deadline and absence of a remediation roadmap make this an immediate priority ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing document and web accessibility now reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and may align with state or federal funding pathways.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's volunteer apparatus fleet operates with single-vehicle maintenance dependencies and no safety technology in place, creating measurable liability exposure and service delivery risk. Without proactive investment, operational gaps could escalate into compliance or public safety incidents that strain limited municipal resources.
The opportunity
Recent budget activity, including a Water Rate Ordinance and Budget Amendment, signals an active financial environment where modest fleet safety investment may be feasible through reallocation. Cooperative purchasing vehicles commonly available to Michigan municipalities can streamline procurement and reduce local administrative burden.
