Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has unclear mass-notification ownership, and no documented exercises — producing a critical preparedness gap score of 90. NIMS compliance is a federal mandate directly tied to preparedness funding eligibility, making these deficiencies an operational and financial liability.
The opportunity
The Macomb County Hazard Mitigation Plan (2025–2030) explicitly prioritizes public warning systems, and grant programs including HSGP and BRIC offer identified funding paths. The late-winter/early-spring budget planning cycle creates a near-term window to act before the next fiscal year closes.
ADA Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The township faces a firm April 2026 deadline to bring public-facing web portals into conformance with WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards under ADA requirements. Failure to remediate creates legal exposure and limits equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The April 2026 compliance deadline establishes a clear and near-term decision window, making action during the current fiscal planning cycle essential. Co-op purchasing vehicles are available to simplify procurement, and addressing this now reduces legal risk while improving equitable public access.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent apparatus incident resulting in an employee injury exposed a critical gap: no dash-cam or telematics data was available to document the event, creating measurable safety and liability risk. Without fleet visibility tools, the township lacks the evidence and oversight needed to protect staff and manage operational accountability.
The opportunity
A potential public-safety disbursement and a county equipment and technology grant provide partial funding pathways, and cooperative purchasing memberships reduce procurement complexity. Acting within the current budget cycle allows the township to close a documented safety gap before the next incident occurs.
Macomb County grant program
Discuss this project →Cybersecurity and Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Macomb County's 2025–2030 Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies cybersecurity best practices as a strategic initiative, signaling a growing institutional priority. While formal mandates are not yet in place, the absence of documented credential management controls presents operational and data-integrity risk for township staff and residents.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs targeting public safety technology offer viable funding paths for cybersecurity initiatives, reducing reliance on a constrained local budget. Positioning this project within the upcoming fiscal planning cycle allows the township to address credential risk proactively before mandates or incidents create urgency.
