Severe Weather Safety
Severe weather, including hurricanes, flooding, and thunderstorms, can disrupt power and create hazardous conditions. Being prepared ensures your propane systems stay safe and your family stays protected.
Be Prepared for Severe Weather
- Check Your Fuel Levels: Make sure your propane tank and standby generator are full before a storm hits.
- Keep Access Clear: Ensure driveways and roads are free of downed trees, limbs, and debris so emergency services and delivery trucks can reach your property safely.
- Secure Your Propane Equipment: Make sure tanks are properly anchored and all outdoor appliances are secure to prevent damage from strong winds.
Safety During Flooding
- Avoid Contact with Propane Equipment: Do not enter areas with propane tanks or appliances that are in standing water.
- Turn Off Equipment if Needed: If flooding is imminent, contact your propane provider for guidance on safely shutting down your system.
- Watch for Gas Leaks: If you smell propane, leave the area immediately and call emergency services.
Safety During Thunderstorms
- Stay Indoors: Avoid using propane appliances outside during lightning storms.
- Avoid Downed Power Lines: Propane tanks near downed lines should be treated with caution.
