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 2024:
- American Red Cross – Sound the Alarm Lynwood/South Gate: #TeamSoCalGas proudly partnered with the American Red Cross Los Angeles Region for the Sound the Alarm event in Lynwood and South Gate, marking the start of National Safety Month. Our dedicated volunteers installed free smoke alarms and provided essential safety education to residents, significantly enhancing home safety and saving lives. These Sound the Alarm events are a vital part of our commitment to community safety, ensuring that families are better prepared in case of emergencies. By working together, we are making a tangible difference in our neighborhoods, fostering a safer and more resilient community.
- Climate Resiliency Grants: SoCalGas granted $150,000 in 2024 to local governments and vulnerable communities for Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Planning. This program provides support to help communities prepare for planning and recovery from climate risks, such as extreme heat, wildfires, drought, subsidence, sea level rise, flooding, and mudslides. Awardees included the City of Santa Ana for their Air Pollution Monitors and Air Purifiers (APMAP) proposal—a phase one approach to gather location-specific data on air pollutants. The City of Carson received support to update their existing Climate Action Plan (CAP), and the City of Calipatria received a grant for their Climate Action Resilience assessment of greenhouse gas emissions generated within their district.
