Emergency Operations Plan Development for Missaukee Township
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan and sufficient local resources, a gap exposed by recent severe weather events and a FEMA disaster designation for Missaukee County. NIMS implementation requirements and a pending County Hazard Mitigation Plan update create binding compliance obligations that elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
A FEMA disaster designation and a state Declaration of Emergency establish near-term procurement urgency, with emergency funding and reimbursement mechanisms likely available alongside cooperative purchasing pathways. Federal preparedness grants such as BRIC and HSGP align directly with this need, supporting action within the current fiscal window.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township depends on a county-level mass notification system with no dedicated local solution, creating critical gaps in emergency response capability. Recent severe weather events and a FEMA disaster designation have exposed this dependency as an urgent operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
A state emergency declaration and FEMA disaster designation signal strong eligibility for emergency preparedness funding, including programs aligned with mass notification and hazard mitigation. Acting within the current procurement window—supported by cooperative purchasing paths—enables faster deployment, strengthens NIMS compliance, and reduces community risk ahead of the next severe weather season.
Modernize Emergency Communications with NG911 Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified NG911 and emergency communications upgrades as high-priority strategic initiatives, yet current infrastructure lacks a local EOP and relies on county-level mass notification. Recent FEMA disaster designations and severe weather events expose critical preparedness gaps, elevating compliance and operational risk under NIMS mandates.
The opportunity
A state-level emergency declaration and active HSGP grant cycle create a near-term funding window aligned with the township's 5-year NG911 plan. Acting now supports NIMS compliance, strengthens local response capacity, and leverages existing county GIS infrastructure for faster, cost-effective implementation.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing website and digital forms have identified gaps in meeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards, creating compliance exposure and limiting equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Active compliance mandates and a strategic initiative for digital services improvements create a near-term window to remediate document accessibility and strengthen public-facing content—work that may align with the upcoming fiscal cycle and cooperative procurement pathways.
