Emergency Operations Plan Development for Pierson Township
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Pierson Township has no publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, creating significant compliance and operational risk under FEMA NIMS and Michigan EOP guidance mandates. The township currently relies on county-level emergency management with no visible township-level coordinator, leaving residents and staff without a defined local response framework.
The opportunity
Multiple aligned federal grant programs — including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG — provide funded pathways to address this gap with limited local match required. New township leadership and an approved budget create a timely opening to advance compliance, formalize emergency coordination, and strengthen community resilience.
Mass Notification Modernization for Township-Level Alerting
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township currently relies on county-operated infrastructure for resident and staff emergency alerts, limiting local control, reach, and signup participation. This dependency creates operational gaps during time-sensitive emergencies and conflicts with FEMA NIMS and Michigan EOP guidance requiring township-level preparedness capability.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG are actively funding emergency notification and preparedness technology with strong alignment to this project scope. Acting within the current grant cycle supports compliance, expands direct resident reach, and reduces reliance on shared county systems during critical incidents.
Regional Fire Authority Formation & Emergency Coverage Expansion
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Regional fire coverage and Fire Authority formation is the township's top strategic priority, with approved funding and active momentum through fire contracts and a Fire Capital Fund. Gaps in a township-level EOP, mass-notification reach, and FEMA NIMS compliance elevate operational and regulatory risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Approved budget and defined timelines place this initiative in active procurement, aligning with FEMA grant windows—including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG—that support emergency management capability expansion. Acting now ensures compliance readiness, strengthens regional coordination, and maximizes available funding before the current cycle closes.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The township has active near-term IT procurement underway — including new computer acquisition and email provisioning — signaling a recognized gap in managed endpoint infrastructure. Without a current endpoint management solution, operational continuity and data integrity remain at risk.
The opportunity
A recently approved budget and active procurement cycle create an immediate window to address endpoint management gaps with minimal delay. Acting within the current fiscal period aligns spending with approved appropriations and reduces ongoing operational and security risk.

Discuss this project →Fleet Risk Mitigation Through Telematics Adoption
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's fleet currently operates without telematics or dash-cam coverage, leaving a gap in driver accountability, incident documentation, and liability protection. Without monitoring tools in place, the township bears unmitigated operational and financial risk across its vehicle assets.
The opportunity
Expanding fleet activity tied to Fire Authority formation strengthens the case for proactive telematics investment ahead of the next budget cycle. Addressing this gap now reduces long-term liability exposure and aligns with responsible stewardship of public assets, with potential eligibility through cooperative procurement vehicles.
