Pipeline Association for Public Awareness

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. Despite pipelines being the safest means of transportation for these resources, pipeline safety is everyone’s responsibility. This newsletter is an effort by the Pipeline Association for Public Awareness to provide you information about the pipelines in your community and steps to prevent, or if necessary, react to a pipeline incident. Information is also provided on the efforts pipeline operators take to ensure the safe operations of their facilities. More extensive information on the purpose, location, daily operations and integrity of pipeline facilities can be found throughout this newsletter and on the Association’s web site at www.pipelineawareness.org. The top priority of pipeline operators is to operate our nation’s pipeline infrastructure safely. We sincerely hope the information provided here will be helpful to you in your responsibilities as a community leader.
