Emergency Operations Plan Development and Public Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Sumpter Township lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, creating a critical preparedness gap compounded by a declared public safety emergency for hazardous gravel roads and explicit compliance mandates under Michigan Publication 201a. Media coverage of these deficiencies elevates public accountability risk and underscores the urgency for structured emergency planning and mass notification capabilities.
The opportunity
Two directly aligned grant opportunities with July 2026 deadlines provide a funded path forward, and the township's March budget adoption and July 1 fiscal year start create a near-term procurement window. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, closes critical preparedness gaps, and positions the township to protect residents with available state and federal funding.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a branded digital mass notification system, relying solely on siren infrastructure that cannot reach residents through modern channels. This gap limits emergency communication reach and conflicts with Michigan Publication 201a emergency management planning mandates.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 create a near-term funding path with strong alignment to this project. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance, closes a critical public alerting gap, and leverages available emergency management funds before the window closes.
Incident & Exercise Tracking for Emergency Management Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Michigan Publication 201a mandates formal incident and exercise tracking, and the township's coordination with Wayne County HSEM alongside an active public safety emergency declaration highlights critical gaps in structured emergency management planning beyond basic notification capabilities.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 create a defined procurement window, and increased public safety budget allocations support investment now. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses compliance mandates, reduces operational risk, and strengthens coordinated emergency response for residents.
Fleet Telematics & Road Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Infrastructure Management
High Priority
About this project
A declared public safety emergency for hazardous gravel roads highlights critical fleet safety gaps, including the absence of in-vehicle telematics and camera systems. While foundational fleet tracking is in place, the lack of comprehensive safety telemetry elevates operational risk for staff and the public.
The opportunity
Active infrastructure funding—including a $1M road repaving allocation and emergency pothole treatment—signals available budget pathways for fleet safety investment. The March budget adoption and July fiscal year start create a near-term procurement window aligned with current public safety priorities.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The township maintains an active cybersecurity program, but endpoint management and password/credential security remain unaddressed gaps in the overall security posture. These siloed vulnerabilities expose public safety systems and sensitive data to credential-based threats and unmanaged device risk.
The opportunity
With an existing cybersecurity investment already in place and IT/software budget confirmed, this is a natural and cost-efficient expansion aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Closing endpoint and credential gaps reduces operational risk and supports a more defensible, audit-ready security environment.
