WELL-BEING
Be aware of all the possible signs of a gas leak, including a distinct unpleasant smell. The odor is added to natural gas to help identify leaks.
If a leak is suspected:
* Stay calm.
* Don’t light a match, candle, or cigarette, and don’t turn any electrical devices on or off, including light switches, or use any device or equipment that could cause a spark.
* Immediately evacuate the area where the leak is suspected and from a safe location call your gas company or 911.
