Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hinton Township has no formal Emergency Operations Plan, no documented preparedness exercises, and recently experienced a county-level flood declaration. NIMS implementation and county hazard mitigation planning mandates elevate compliance and operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Confirmed FY2026 Public Safety Revenue Sharing funds are restricted to public safety uses, providing an immediate and eligible budget path. Acting now aligns with the FEMA-funded Mecosta County Hazard Mitigation Plan, addresses compliance mandates, and reduces reputational and operational exposure following the recent flood event.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hinton Township depends on a county-operated notification system, leaving local officials without direct control during emergencies—a gap exposed by a recent flood event. Without an independent solution, the township risks delayed resident alerts, NIMS compliance gaps, and continued reliance on a system not tailored to local needs.
The opportunity
New FY2026 Public Safety Revenue Sharing funds and active Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) opportunities provide a clear, near-term funding path. Acting now aligns with the county's FEMA-supported Hazard Mitigation Plan, strengthens local emergency preparedness, and reduces operational and compliance risk for residents.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with a hard deadline of April 24, 2026, and currently has no solution in place. This gap creates legal exposure and limits equitable public access to essential digital services for residents.
The opportunity
The April 2026 deadline establishes a well-defined decision window, and cooperative procurement vehicles such as Sourcewell, NASPO ValuePoint, and MiDEAL simplify the purchasing process. Acting now reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and aligns with current fiscal planning cycles.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The township currently lacks documented in-vehicle video and telematics capabilities, creating an unmonitored fleet safety gap that exposes the municipality to liability and risk management concerns. Without visibility into vehicle operations, the township has limited ability to protect staff, assets, and the public it serves.
The opportunity
FY2026 Public Safety Revenue Sharing funds are confirmed and applicable to fleet safety initiatives, with additional grant sources also aligned to this need. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the township to close a documented safety gap using available public safety funding with cooperative procurement options to streamline acquisition.
