Emergency Operations Plan and Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a documented mass-notification system, and recorded HSEEP-style exercises, creating critical preparedness gaps. NIMS implementation requirements and Michigan MSP/EMHSD EOP review mandates elevate compliance and operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program, with a 2026 deadline, provides a clear funding path, and a recent leadership transition opens a timely window for new priorities. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the department to close compliance gaps and strengthen community emergency response outcomes.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No documented local mass-notification system is in place, limiting the department's ability to alert staff and residents during emergencies. This gap compounds existing emergency preparedness deficiencies, including the absence of a current EOP, elevating risk for both operational continuity and NIMS compliance.
The opportunity
NIMS and EOP compliance mandates create a clear procurement driver, and the 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) window offers a near-term funding path with strong categorical alignment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance, reduces operational risk, and strengthens community emergency response outcomes.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This small volunteer fire department operates without fleet management technology, leaving driver safety and vehicle oversight gaps unaddressed. Budget and staffing constraints typical of volunteer organizations elevate the risk of preventable incidents, making proactive telematics and dash camera adoption a practical safety priority.
The opportunity
The Michigan Electric Fleet Network grant is an active strategic priority for fleet electrification, and the Homeland Security Grant Program offers a secondary funding path with a 2026 deadline. A recent leadership transition and active local budget cycles create a favorable window to advance fleet safety as part of a broader modernization agenda.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A confirmed April 26, 2028 federal deadline under WCAG/ADA mandates requires website and digital service improvements, creating clear legal and accessibility risk for non-compliance. This initiative is already identified internally as an active strategic priority, signaling organizational readiness to act.
The opportunity
The fixed 2028 deadline enables structured procurement planning now, with work staged by risk severity to align with budget cycles and reduce cost pressure. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and accelerate delivery of accessible, equitable digital services to the public.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Confirmed budget approval signals active procurement readiness for fire department equipment and readiness improvements, with the FY26 Michigan Fire Equipment Grant offering up to $50,000 for eligible volunteer departments. A recent leadership transition and absence of a documented EOP or local mass-notification system elevate both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY26 grant deadline and active local budget cycle create a near-term decision window to secure equipment funding with minimal local match required. Acting now aligns procurement with available grant dollars, supports NIMS compliance, and strengthens community emergency response capacity before the fiscal year closes.
