Use NIXLE to Stay Informed
The most vital component required in order to effectively plan for, respond to and
recover from an emergency incident is information. This is the single commodity that allows
emergency services personnel to establish and maintain what is known as a “common
operating picture” – that awareness of an incident that enables those in charge to ensure
the safety of responders as well as the successful resolution of the incident.
Emergency managers are not alone in their need for accurate incident information,
however. Ordinary citizens are almost always the first to see, and often respond to,
emergencies. They are also the ones directly impacted by these incidents. As such, it is
important that they receive incident-related information in a timely and accurate manner.
In fact, the emergency operations plans of most municipalities address the need to provide
information to the public prior to, during and after an incident occurs.
One of the ways that both North Huntingdon Township and Irwin Borough are Article provided by Gene Komondor,
Emergency Management Coordinator
able to provide information to its residents is with a communications application known for North Huntingdon Township
as Nixle. This web-based product allows for real-time communications and can be used
in both emergency and non-emergency situations. In fact, the majority of messages
sent are related to non life-threatening incidents such as road closures, utility repairs and
weather alerts. The system would also be used in the event of a localized or large-scale
disaster such as a tornado or flooding. Combined with other social media applications such as Facebook and Twitter, Nixle
enhances the ability of North Huntingdon and Irwin to keep their residents informed of events occurring in their respective
municipalities.
Nixle is a free application that is available to everyone. To sign up to receive information alerts, simply go to the Nixle website at www.nixle.com to register.
Alerts can be sent to your e-mail and mobile devices as well as to desktop computers.

Metal Photo Service 3rd Annual Kickball Tournament
Jason and Tara Saunders, owners of MPS have a history of paying it forward. It started with a their special
on color copies, 5 cents from each copy is donated to a local charity. In 2013 they decided to go bigger
with their charity work and so the kickball tournament came to be. “We recognize how lucky we are to
have two healthy children and a successful business. We want to help others who are dealing with tough
situations,” says Tara.
On August 15th Metal Photo Service, Inc. held their 3rd Annual Kickball tournament. This year it was held
at White Oak Park and proceeds benefited Carson’s Hope, a charity created by Jim and Carlie Rudick to
help support families dealing with pediatric cancer as well as to help further pediatric cancer research.
The past 3 kickball tournaments have raised a combined total of $18,600 for designated charities. This
year alone MPS raised $6,800 for Carson’s Hope. Congrats to team OLD SCHOOL who took the big win
this year!
