Emergency Notification System Established
To comply with PA DEP Public Notification Rules the Municipal Authority has implemented to services of Swiftreach Networks, Inc. as its emergency notification provider. The Swift911™ system is designed to make phone calls on a Township-wide basis, or to specific people or areas, in the event of an emergency, and can make hundreds of calls a minute to convey recorded messages. It can also be used to share importance information. The system is also available for use by emergency services or other Township Departments who can give notice of road closures, missing persons or other information.
The Swiftreach Network data has been provided by a third party data provider and only includes listed phone numbers. It is important for residents and business owners to verify the accuracy of the information provided to us, and to provide additional contact information such as unlisted, unpublished or cell phone numbers and even email addresses. Accurate information in the database helps to ensure emergency notifications will be passed on to everyone in a timely manner.

Brighton Township Veterans Memorial
The Brighton Township Veterans Memorial was dedicated in 2000 as a result of the dedicated service
of a Veterans Memorial Committee and many others who contributed to the memorial design, site
preparation, solicitation of funds and dedication ceremony. To these people, we are all grateful.
You can still help with the continued maintenance of the monument. Brick pavers are still being sold to
raise funds for the memorial and its continued maintenance and site improvements. Bricks inscribed as
designated by the donor are available for $50. Remember, $40 of each brick purchased is tax
deductible. Contact the Township Office for more information (724-774-4800) or print the order form
available through this link.
