Formalize Emergency Operations Plan for FEMA Compliance
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a formalized Emergency Operations Plan and documented NIMS compliance, both required for federal funding eligibility. A recent FEMA disaster designation for Missaukee County has exposed this gap, elevating operational and compliance risk for residents and local staff.
The opportunity
The active FEMA disaster designation opens an immediate procurement and grant compliance window, with the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) providing a direct funding path. Acting within current township meeting cycles avoids scheduling delays and positions the township to meet compliance mandates before the next fiscal review.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a confirmed modern mass notification system, limiting its ability to alert residents and staff during emergencies. Combined with the absence of a public EOP and overdue NIMS compliance requirements, this gap elevates operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
A recent FEMA disaster designation for the county opens an active procurement and grant compliance window, with EMPG funding directly applicable to this initiative. Acting within the current cycle addresses critical preparedness gaps, supports NIMS eligibility, and strengthens community resilience with available public funding.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A website accessibility mandate represents an active compliance risk for the township, with the current public-facing digital portal potentially failing to meet required accessibility standards. Unresolved gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government services for residents.
The opportunity
The compliance deadline creates a defined procurement window that aligns with current fiscal planning cycles, and remediation may be eligible for state or federal technology funding. Acting now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and ensures uninterrupted public access to township services.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Liability Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
No confirmed telematics solution is currently in place, leaving the fleet without forward-facing camera coverage or data-driven risk controls. This gap creates moderate-to-high liability exposure and limits the agency's ability to document incidents or defend against claims.
The opportunity
Grants such as COPS TEP show potential alignment for fleet safety initiatives, and cooperative purchasing agreements may simplify and accelerate procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Piloting telematics now reduces liability risk and builds a defensible record of due diligence for public fleet operations.
