SAFETY Continued from Page 1 meetings to discuss how the pipeline is structured and what the district might expe- rience in the event of a natural gas emergency. “He explained construction of the pipeline and what’s done to ensure that they’re not going to have problems with leaks,” said Parry. “I was impressed. It’s definitely not just throw something togeth- er and put it in the ground type thing. It’s designed to last for a long, long time...A lot of my fears went away.” Stephen Bekanich, Luzerne County emergency manage- ment agency director, said he doesn’t recommend school districts having multiple evac- uation plans because in an emergency situation, it could be hard to remember what to do. He said there’s a state-rec- ommended “all hazards” plan that identifies a plan of action to take within schools in any type of emergency. “We provide templates to the schools and the plans are also available online,” said Be- kanich. “The state does make modifications every two to three years, and we let schools know when the new plan is on there and ask them to update and submit a copy to us.” Dallas Superintendent Frank Galicki has said the dis- trict does have an “award-win- ning” emergency evacuation plan in place, but developed the task force to deal specifi- cally with natural gas emer- gencies. Helen Humphreys, commu- nications specialist for Wil- liams Field Services, said the company chose to participate in the task force to help spread relevant information to both district officials and emergency responders. “We also want to help them to understand that the con- nection and meter will not pose risk to the school, and for that reason alone we thought it was important to do,” said Humphreys. Humphreys also said the district is not treated any dif- ferently in terms of the com- pany’s notification process. She said the district is “a neighbor te the pipeline” and receives the same communi- cations as nearby residents. The same is not true for the Williams-owned Transco line. Chris Stockton, a Transco spo- kesperson, said the company annually sends information to schools located near the pipe- line thit includes company contacts, safety information, educational materials and a pipeling mapping system. Stockton also said the com- pany offers to aid school dis- tricts with emergency evacua- tion plans and even provides a DVD tailored to elementary and middle school-aged stu- dents about pipeline damage prevention. He said in 2010 and 2011, Transco contacted officials from Dallas Elementary, Wy- callis Elementary, Dallas Mid- dle | School, Dallas High Schdol, I'm Big Now Learning Center and Misericordia Uni. versity with the aforemen- tioned information. Stockton said officials did not recall whether any of the schools contacted Transco for more information. Dallas School District offi- cials could not be reached be- fore press time. — King Crossword — Answers Solution time: 21 mins.
