#Prepare for a gas leak: After a disaster, look, smell, and listen for leaky gas connections. If you believe there’s a gas leak, IMMEDIATELY leave your home and contact the gas utility. Keep the doors open when you leave. Learn more from @DominionEnergy: https://t.co/8uasOubfOu
It's no secret that it's HOT outside. That can be dangerous for people, young and old. Take a minute to check on your elderly family members and neighbors. Make sure they are keeping their homes cool. We appreciate @NWSSaltLakeCity for important weather watches and warnings.
