Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has unclear mass notification integration, and shows no evidence of recent preparedness exercises. With a new fire department forming, NIMS and EOP compliance mandates create immediate regulatory and operational risk for emergency services delivery.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness grants (HSGP, EMPG) explicitly fund emergency communications and mass notification systems, providing a direct path to address these gaps with limited local match. The new fire department's approved technology budget and near-term procurement activity make this an ideal moment to act within the current fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public website has identified gaps under WCAG 2.0 A/AA standards, with a compliance-driven need to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Unresolved accessibility barriers limit equitable public access to government services and elevate legal and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
ARPA funds have been approved for a website modernization effort, creating a confirmed, active procurement window. Addressing accessibility compliance now aligns with strategic initiatives, supports equitable service delivery, and positions the township to meet evolving federal standards within the current funding cycle.
Fire Department Fleet Telematics Program Launch
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Nelson Township is establishing a new fire department, introducing additional vehicles and heightened fleet liability with no existing telematics program in place. This greenfield gap creates immediate risk around vehicle safety monitoring, driver accountability, and operational oversight for a growing emergency services fleet.
The opportunity
Approved technology purchases and new funding streams tied to the fire department's formation signal near-term budget availability for fleet solutions. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures telematics infrastructure is in place before fleet liability exposure grows, and procurement may be eligible through cooperative purchasing programs.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Basic cybersecurity password controls have been identified as a documented gap, with no evidence of active endpoint security management tools in use. This foundational vulnerability exposes the township to operational and compliance risk, threatening continuity of public services and staff data integrity.
The opportunity
Addressing baseline cybersecurity controls aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle and may be eligible for cooperative purchasing programs that reduce procurement burden and cost. Acting now closes a greenfield security gap before it becomes a compliance finding or incident-driven emergency.
