Encouraging Emergency Preparedness & Safety
While natural gas has the best safety and reliability record of all traditional energy sources, we still need to be vigilant about following our established safety guidelines and continually reaching out to Southern Californians with information on:
- How to detect a natural gas leak and what to do
- Why you should call 811 before any outdoor digging
- The importance of family and workplace emergency preparedness
- Our informative safety brochures, available in 14 languages
- How to avoid being scammed
- Pipeline safety
- Contractor safety
Our programs and activities in 2023:
- American Red Cross – Greater Los Angeles: SoCalGas granted $95,000 to the American Red Cross, which includes hygiene kits to support veterans as part of its Service to the Armed Forces program, volunteer activities at its Veteran Safety Stand Down, Sound the Alarm in East Los Angeles to install smoke alarms, and provide the local community with fire prevention and emergency preparedness tips, and multiple blood drives at SoCalGas facilities
- Climate Resiliency Grants: SoCalGas granted $100,000 2023 to local governments and tribal communities for Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Planning. This program provides support to help communities prepare for planning and recovery from climate change risks, such as extreme heat, wildfires, drought, subsidence, sea level rise, flooding, and mudslides. Awardees included the City of Costa Mesa for their Climate Vulnerability Assessment (RCVA) proposal and the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians Erosion Recovery Project, which will help ensure Soboba is more resilient to storm and flooding vulnerability.
- Rose Bowl Aquatics Center: SoCalGas presented the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center with a $50,000 grant to support water safety initiatives and swim lessons for underserved youth in the San Gabriel Valley. This will allow an additional 200+ fifth-grade students to participate in their Water Safety Program.
