EOP Development and CEMP Compliance Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a township-level Emergency Operations Plan, and the county CEMP is overdue for update. Recent winter storm and flooding events have exposed critical operational gaps, and unmet NIMS implementation mandates now threaten eligibility for ongoing preparedness funding.
The opportunity
Budget has been approved for emergency management technology, and the NERIS compliance transition deadline of January 31, 2026 creates a defined action window. Addressing EOP and CEMP gaps now preserves grant eligibility, reduces public safety liability, and aligns with the current procurement cycle.
NFIRS-to-NERIS Transition & Fire Records Compliance
Fire & Life Safety · Compliance & Records Management
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a mandated transition from NFIRS to NERIS by January 31, 2026, requiring a full migration of fire incident reporting and records management systems. With implementation actively underway, ensuring a complete, compliant, and operationally stable cutover is critical to maintaining reporting eligibility and public safety data integrity.
The opportunity
The January 2026 deadline creates one of the most time-sensitive compliance windows in the current fiscal cycle, with budget already approved and procurement initiated. Acting now ensures implementation stays on schedule, reduces audit and reporting risk, and positions the township to meet federal data standards without disruption to fire operations.
Township-Level Emergency Alert Independence
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently relies on county-managed alerting infrastructure, leaving it without independent notification capabilities during localized incidents. Recent winter storm and flooding events have exposed this dependency gap, increasing operational and communication risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Compliance mandates including the NERIS transition deadline and NIMS implementation requirements create clear timing pressure, while grants such as BRIC and HSGP offer eligible funding paths. Establishing township-level alerting now reduces incident response risk and aligns with an active public safety investment cycle.
Fire Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The township's 7-truck fire department fleet currently operates without dash cameras or telematics systems, creating measurable exposure to apparatus loss, liability from crashes, and limited operational visibility. Without monitoring tools in place, the department lacks data to support incident review, driver accountability, or risk mitigation.
The opportunity
Grant programs aligned with public safety technology—including fleet monitoring—may offset acquisition costs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can simplify procurement. Addressing this gap now supports responsible stewardship of public assets and reduces liability exposure ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
