Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Nester Township lacks a township-level Emergency Operations Plan, has gaps in mass notification participation, and has no documented exercise or after-action review process. A mandate to adopt the Roscommon County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (NIMS compliance) and recent county emergency declarations make closing these gaps an immediate operational and compliance priority.
The opportunity
An active county State of Emergency declaration and open FEMA grant windows — including hazard mitigation and preparedness programs — create strong funding alignment for this project now. Adopting the county Hazard Mitigation Plan unlocks grant eligibility and reduces liability, making the current fiscal environment an ideal time to act.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified gaps in mass notification participation while the county recently transitioned platforms, creating both displacement and integration risk at the local level. Mandates tied to the county Hazard Mitigation Plan and NIMS compliance elevate the urgency for a coordinated, reliable alerting capability.
The opportunity
The county's State of Emergency declaration and active procurement environment signal a near-term window to align township notification infrastructure with county-level systems. FEMA grant programs, including HSGP and BRIC, offer strong funding pathways with this project scope, supporting action within the current fiscal cycle to reduce compliance and operational risk.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing digital infrastructure carries unresolved WCAG/ADA compliance exposure, including specific gaps in PDF accessibility that must be remediated to meet applicable federal and state mandates. Unaddressed, these gaps create legal liability and limit equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Proactively remediating accessibility gaps reduces litigation risk and strengthens public trust ahead of potential audits or complaints. Cooperative procurement vehicles such as MiDEAL are available to streamline acquisition and align with responsible stewardship of public funds.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Nester Township operates emergency apparatus without telematics or dash-cam systems, creating measurable liability exposure and operational blind spots. The absence of these safeguards leaves the township without data needed to defend against incidents or demonstrate due diligence.
The opportunity
A COPS TEP grant provides a direct funding path for this initiative, and cooperative purchasing options can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now reduces liability risk and positions the township to demonstrate responsible stewardship of public safety assets.
