This large postcard supplements National Grid’s annual pipeline public awareness program (PPAP) Emergency Officials Baseline mailing to address a recurring hazard among this audience. It focuses on a single tip: NEVER attempt to stop the flow of gas in a damaged natural gas pipeline by bending, pinching, taping or crimping the pipe. Briefly explains why this tactic is inadvisable and advises evacuating the area, eliminating spark hazards and reporting the damage to National Grid instead. Provides a link to sign up for a quarterly email series with additional gas incident response tips, Tips of the Trade.
