Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a published Emergency Operations Plan, township-owned mass-notification capability, and documented emergency exercises, creating critical gaps against NIMS and EOP mandates. Continued reliance on county-level alerting leaves residents and staff exposed to unmitigated operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Identified grant pathways, including public-safety communications funding, support near-term investment with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses urgent compliance mandates, strengthens community resilience, and reduces liability before the next emergency event.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's new online payment portal, launching in 2026, currently lacks WCAG 2.1 AA compliance measures, exposing the municipality to legal liability and inequitable resident access. The WordPress-based site also has documented document accessibility gaps, compounding risk under federal and state web accessibility mandates.
The opportunity
The 2026 portal go-live creates a defined, near-term window to remediate accessibility gaps before public exposure increases. New water rate revenue signals a positive budget outlook, and this work is eligible for alignment with state cooperative purchasing programs, reducing procurement friction and supporting fiscally responsible delivery.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has no owned mass-notification system, relying entirely on county infrastructure for emergency alerting — a dependency that limits direct resident communications and independent response capability. NIMS and EOP compliance mandates require documented notification protocols and township-level exercise records, none of which are currently in place.
The opportunity
TEP and JAG grant programs explicitly fund public-safety communications and equipment, offering a viable funding path with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses critical compliance gaps, strengthens emergency preparedness posture, and reduces operational risk to residents.
