Targas Public Awareness Efforts

    emergency responders and excavators
  • Mass Mailings
  • Newspaper Advertising

The Gap in our Public AwarenessEfforts - - -
Reaching schools that were located near our
pipeline systemTo bridge this gap we
implemented aTEACHER AWARENESS PROGRAM(now in
our 4th year)
4
QUICK VERSION
  • Used ½ mile radius as our guideline
  • Contacted Offices of affected schools during
    summer
  • Set up meeting in the weeks before school starts
    (during teacher in-service meetings) to avoid
    student issues
  • Had to be flexible to meet each school in their
    time window
  • breakfast, lunch, afternoon meeting in one day
    in three different towns
  • two shows _at_ two different schools at same time

5
Program Setup
  • As teachers entered the meeting room, they were
    given a 5x7 card.
  • One side had a pre-meeting questionnaire to be
    taken before the presentation
  • The other side of the card was to be filled after
    the presentation
  • In order to qualify for the door prizes, cards
    had to be turned in (100 participation).
  • At the end of the meeting, Targa provided all
    attendees with thank you gifts.

What the Teachers Got from Targa
  • A catered Lunch (or breakfast or snack)
  • Door prizes
  • Generally 25 each
  • Gift cards to Sonic, Applebees, Chilis, and
    movies
  • Contact names numbers for Targa personnel

7
What the Teachers Got from Targa
  • A 30 minute program designed to provide the
    teachers with information about the pipelines,
    how to recognize a leak and what to do in an
    emergency
  • Informed about the One Call Notification System
    the new 811 Program (many were unaware of the
    program)

8
What Targa Got from the Teachers
  • We were able to educate the educators about
    pipeline safety
  • We got many questions both on the cards in
    person
  • Able to interact with the teachers
  • Documentation of attendees
  • Pre-meeting Post-meeting Cards

Working Near A Pipeline
  • Digging near a pipeline is the most common cause
    of pipeline accidents.
  • -We want people to call us before digging so we
    can prevent damage to pipeline and injuries to
    people.
  • Someone will come out and mark the pipeline with
    colored paint or marker flags - Free of Charge

Some signs of a Possible Pipeline leak
Leaks from pipelines are unusual, but we want
you to know what to do in the unlikely event one
occurs.
Your senses of sight and hearing are the best way
to recognize a pipeline leak
Fog only in one area
Dead patch of grass
Hissing sounds
Ice ball or Patch of Ice
Bubbling ground
25
What to Do if a Leak Occurs
  • Leave the area warn others to stay away
  • Do not start a car, light a match, switch lights
    on/off or use a telephone. Avoid creating
    ignition sources that could ignite a flame
  • Turn off any gas pilot lights.
  • Turn off any machinery or equipment in the
    immediate area.
  • However, if a vapor cloud surrounds a piece of
    equipment, do not go into the cloud to turn it
    off.
  • Do not touch or breathe leaking liquids or gasses
  • From a safe place, Call 911
