Strengthen Emergency Preparedness and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Lenox Township faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unreliable EMS facility generator and no documented HSEEP-style exercises, while carrying a strong mandate to maintain NIMS-aligned capability. These gaps create compounding regulatory and operational risk for public safety staff and residents.
The opportunity
Active participation in the Macomb County Hazard Mitigation Plan positions the township for near-term HSGP and BRIC grant eligibility, creating a defined funding window for emergency management improvements. Addressing these gaps now advances compliance, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the current grant cycle.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's current mass notification system operates in isolation from public safety operations, creating a fragmented alert infrastructure that may delay or disrupt public warnings. Aging outdoor sirens and the absence of integrated cell-based alerting represent documented gaps in NIMS-aligned emergency notification capability.
The opportunity
Active grant programs, including hazard mitigation and homeland security preparedness funding, offer viable pathways to offset modernization costs with limited local match required. Aligning this project with the current budget cycle and pending hazard mitigation plan resubmission strengthens both grant eligibility and community resilience outcomes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified gaps in WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 compliance across its public-facing digital properties, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable resident access to government services. Unresolved accessibility deficiencies represent both a civil rights compliance risk and a barrier to inclusive service delivery.
The opportunity
WCAG compliance is an active leadership priority, and the current budget planning cycle presents a near-term window to fund remediation through eligible state or federal accessibility initiatives. Addressing gaps now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and positions the township ahead of tightening federal accessibility enforcement timelines.

Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a pending hazard mitigation plan resubmission with defined technology and preparedness requirements tied to continued grant eligibility. Documented gaps—including an unreliable EMS generator, limited exercise records, and a fragmented mass notification system—elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active BRIC and HSGP grant cycles provide externally structured funding windows aligned with this resubmission timeline, reducing local budget burden. Acting within the current fiscal window positions the township to close preparedness gaps, satisfy NIMS compliance mandates, and protect long-term grant eligibility.
