May: Gas Safety Is a Community Effort

Natural gas powers homes, schools, and businesses across the country safely every day.

But true safety is a shared effort, between utilities, regulators, and the families they serve.

Utilities maintain and monitor gas distribution systems. Regulators set safety standards that protect the public. And consumers play their role by maintaining appliances, recognizing leak signs, and responding quickly in an emergency. Together, these efforts create safer communities.

One important step families can take is adding natural gas alarms in their homes. Like smoke and CO detectors, these alarms provide early warning if a leak occurs, helping families evacuate before danger escalates. When individuals adopt alarms alongside good safety practices, the entire community benefits.

Whether you’re a homeowner, a parent, or a neighbor, your actions matter. By teaching your family the signs of a leak, testing your alarms, and sharing safety tips with others, you help strengthen the shared safety net.
