Atlanta Gas Light provides tips to help customers prepare for hurricane season
Hurricane preparedness is not only about protecting your home or natural gas appliances – it’s about providing peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
At Atlanta Gas Light, we believe that prioritizing safety starts well before a storm approaches. As we enter another hurricane season, we remind customers to always be ready for potential storms.
Empowerment through preparedness
There is no playbook for when and how a hurricane will impact our communities, but there are steps you can take to stay confident amidst uncertainty
- Build an emergency kit and include the Atlanta Gas Light Severe Weather Tips for before, during, and after a storm to your checklist.
- Recognize the signs of a natural gas leak: a rotten egg smell, hissing sounds, or dirt blowing in the air.
- Never attempt to turn natural gas services back on yourself. Our team will do it safely.
- You can protect you, your property, and the people around you by keeping access to your gas meters free from debris and knowing the location of your main shutoff valve.
After a storm, your instinct might be to start cleaning up. However, your safety must come first. If your gas appliances have been flooded or damaged, call 877.427.4321, and one of our first responders will inspect them for you.
