Close Emergency Preparedness Gaps Before Federal Funding Is Lost
Emergency Management · Compliance & Federal Funding
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented HSEEP-style exercises, and a local mass-notification system — representing critical preparedness gaps. A standing NIMS compliance mandate ties these deficiencies directly to continued eligibility for federal preparedness funding, making inaction a fiscal and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The annual budget authorization window in March creates a defined fiscal timing signal, and the COPS FY26 Technology and Equipment Program — with funding up to $20M — explicitly covers emergency management initiatives. Acting now protects federal funding eligibility, closes documented preparedness gaps, and positions the township for a structured, compliant response capability.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently has no dedicated mass-notification or opt-in alert system, relying entirely on county-level services for resident outreach during emergencies. This dependency gap limits direct communication, undermines NIMS compliance, and puts federal preparedness funding eligibility at risk.
The opportunity
The COPS FY26 Technology and Equipment Program offers a significant funding pathway for interoperable communications and emergency management solutions. With the township's March budget cycle approaching, acting now aligns procurement with both fiscal planning and an open grant window, reducing compliance risk and strengthening direct resident outreach.

Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a direct mandate to implement NIMS to retain eligibility for federal preparedness funding, with no documented EOP or mass-notification system in place. Non-compliance risks the loss of federal funding and leaves residents and staff without coordinated emergency response infrastructure.
The opportunity
The COPS FY26 grant cycle and the township's March budget window create a defined, near-term path to fund compliance and close critical preparedness gaps. Acting now protects federal funding eligibility, reduces operational risk, and positions the township for sustained emergency management investment.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The township website has been identified as non-compliant with WCAG 2.1 standards, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to public services for residents with disabilities. No formal remediation timeline has been established, leaving the gap unresolved and the risk unmitigated.
The opportunity
The March budget cycle presents a near-term window to authorize and fund remediation efforts before another fiscal year passes without action. Addressing compliance now reduces legal liability, improves resident service delivery, and positions the township to align with broader digital equity expectations.
