Reverse 911 calls can be dangerous
Executing a reverse 911 call out to your community can be potentially dangerous in a natural gas emergency. The ringing phone or the act of picking it up could be an ignition source. Additionally, a citizen stopping to answer the phone delays the evacuation.
Before you initiate a reverse 911 call, please coordinate with the utility’s natural gas emergency responders at the scene.
