Natural Gas Leak
In the event a natural gas leak is discovered or suspected:
- Turn off the gas valve serving the building or area;
- Open windows and doors to dissipate the fumes; and
- The Executive Director shall evacuate the building by the most appropriate means.
The public utilities company and local fire department shall be notified by the Executive Director, secretary, or any person aware of the emergency.
Note: Do not assume that these public utilities and the local fire department have been notified. It is preferred that several people notify them rather than run the risk of complete omission.
