Community Pipeline Safety & Emergency Preparedness Meeting

Join 7 Directions of Service invites for the Community Pipeline Safety & Emergency Preparedness Meeting. It will be an interactive community meeting focused on one important question:

If a pipeline emergency happened in our community tomorrow, would our people know what was happening, who to call, where to go, and what to do?

The meeting will talk about how pipeline emergencies are detected and communicated, what residents should know during an emergency, and what responsibilities pipeline operators and local emergency officials have for keeping communities informed and prepared.

Participants will work together to:

• Learn how pipeline leaks, ruptures, and other emergencies may be detected and reported.
• Discuss how residents are supposed to receive emergency notifications.
• Walk through a hypothetical pipeline emergency scenario.
• Identify gaps in local emergency preparedness and public information.
• Discuss the needs of elders, children, people with disabilities, households without transportation, and other vulnerable community members.
• Identify questions residents want answered by pipeline operators and emergency officials.
• Develop community recommendations for improving emergency preparedness and communication.

The event will take place on Wednesday, September 30th • 6PM-8PM at 5th & Washington • 103 S Fifth St, Mebane, NC 27302.
