If you think you hear, see, or smell a leak from a natural
gas pipeline:
Leave the area immediately, heading upwind.
Do not touch, breathe or make contact with leading liquids
or gases.
Do not light a match, start an engine, use a telephone,
operate light switches or do anything that might create a spark.
From a safe location, call 911 or your local emergency
response number and the pipeline company. Call collect, if needed, and give
your name, telephone number, a description of the problem and its location.
Do not drive into a leak or vapor cloud area.
Do not attempt to stop the leak by operating pipeline equipment.
Warn others if necessary.
Remember, even a scrape or dent to a pipeline needs to
be reported to the pipeline company. If not promptly reported or repaired,
it could result in a future leak or serious accident.
