Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, has no local governance over mass-notification systems, and recent severe weather events have exposed critical resource gaps. NIMS implementation requirements and EOP review mandates create direct compliance obligations tied to continued funding eligibility.
The opportunity
Near-term grant deadlines in July 2026—including funding eligible for emergency notification and resilient communications—create an immediate window to close preparedness gaps. County-level budget increases in emergency services and recent communications equipment acquisition signal active investment and readiness to act this fiscal cycle.
Local Mass Notification & Emergency Alerting Governance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently depends on county-administered mass-notification infrastructure with no local governance or control, leaving alerting capability vulnerable during severe weather and other emergencies. This gap in local oversight creates coordination risk and limits the township's ability to respond independently when residents need it most.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant programs identify emergency notification and mass alerting as eligible technology, with deadlines approaching in July 2026. Pursuing local alerting governance now—alongside EOP development—enables a bundled funding strategy, strengthens compliance posture, and ensures residents receive timely, locally controlled emergency communications.
Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public website has identified WCAG 2.1/ADA compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and limiting resident access to public services. A firm regulatory deadline of April 2028 provides a defined remediation window, but unresolved gaps carry ongoing liability risk.
The opportunity
An active budget planning cycle with upcoming hearings creates a near-term procurement window to fund remediation before costs and legal risk escalate. Addressing compliance now supports equitable public access, aligns with the April 2028 regulatory target, and may qualify for state or federal funding assistance.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township operates a 30-year-old fire pumper facing imminent replacement at an estimated $552,000, with volunteer staffing and no in-vehicle video or telematics creating measurable liability and operational risk. Manufacturer ordering windows make this a time-sensitive procurement requiring near-term action.
The opportunity
Active budget planning cycles, county-level increases in emergency service funding, and cooperative procurement pathways create a favorable window to advance this initiative now. Addressing fleet age and capability gaps reduces public safety risk and aligns with responsible stewardship of community resources.

Discuss this project →Credential Governance and Identity Security Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Staff reliance on personal email addresses signals absent identity and access management practices, leaving this small, volunteer-dependent township exposed to credential-based threats. With limited dedicated IT resources, the lack of formal credential governance creates measurable operational and data security risk.
The opportunity
County-level budget amendments reflecting increased Data Processing allocations signal near-term appetite for foundational IT investment, aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle. Addressing credential governance now reduces organizational risk at low infrastructure cost and positions the township for broader security compliance readiness.
