Pipeline Awareness Fall 2009: Newsletter for Public Officials

Pipelines are the most efficient way to transport our nation's energy resources. Each year, more than 66% of our oil, natural gas and hydrocarbon resources are moved using a vast network of pipelines. But, despite pipelines being the safest means of transportation for these resources, pipeline safety is everyone's responsibility.

The e-Newsletter, Pipeline Awareness, will provide you with information about the pipelines in your community and steps to prevent or, if necessary, react to a pipeline incident.
