**Propane Safety in Severe Weather:**

- Propane gas is injected with an odorant, which many people equate to that of a distinctive “rotten egg” type scent. **If the odor of gas is present, immediately leave the affected building or area and call our 24-hour answering service for your local office (listed above) from a safe location.** Do not return to the area or the building until the fire department or gas company representative has deemed the area safe.
- Residents should never try to identify the source of a leak themselves.
- If you smell gas, avoid using any sources of ignition, such as cell phones, cigarettes, matches, flashlights, electronic devices, motorized vehicles, light switches or landline as propane gas can ignite from a spark, possibly causing a fire or explosion.
- If flooding occurs at a residence or business and the gas appliances are or have been submerged under water, do not try to operate the appliances.
- **CGS (Metered) Customers Only:** Following a weather emergency, ensure the propane gas meter is visible, and the area surrounding the meter is free of trash and debris.

- If you discover a downed electric wire or power line, assume it is energized (and therefore dangerous) and stay as far away as possible. NEVER TOUCH a downed power line or any telephone cable wires in close proximity.
- It is incredibly important to only use **generators** outdoors and away from all doors, windows, & vents. 
- Heat exhaustion can be life threatening. Stay hydrated and be aware of the symptoms. [Click here](http://www.mayoclinic.org/first-aid/first-aid-heat-exhaustion/basics/art-20056651) for more info.
