Natural gas is clean, effi cient and convenient. We cook with it. Keep warm with it. Even dry our clothes with it. Every day, Con Edison delivers natural gas safely and reliably to thousands of homes and businesses through a network of underground pipelines. Here are some tips to help everyone stay safe. Gas leaks can create fi res and explosions. It’s important that you and your family know how to recognize a gas leak and what to do if you suspect a leak. SIGNS OF A GA S LE AK • Smell – A distinctive, strong odor similar to rotten eggs. • See – A white cloud, mist, fog, bubbles in standing water, blowing dust or vegetation that appears to be dead or dying for no reason. • Hear – Roaring, hissing or whistling. WHAT TO DO IF YOU DETECT A GA S LE AK • Leave immediately and take others with you. • If you are outside, leave the area immediately. • Do not light a match or smoke, turn appliances or lights on or off (including fl ashlights), use a telephone or start a car. Doing so can produce sparks that might cause the gas to explode. A Message From • Find a phone away fr om the area and call 911 or 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633). You can report leaks anonymously. • Do not assume someone else will r eport the condition. • National Grid customers should call 1-718-643-4050. • Tell us if there is a problem with your electric service. • Follow directions from emergency responders who are on site. BEFORE YOU DIG, CALL 811 There are almost 4,300 miles of underground gas pipelines in our service area. The slightest scratch, scrape, dent or gouge can result in a dangerous leak. To protect these pipelines, you must call the local one-call center at 811 two to ten days before you dig or excavate on public or private property. After you call, utility companies will mark the approximate location of their lines at no charge to you. LEARN MORE For gas safety tips, visit conEd.com/GasSafety.

My message is clear: if you drink and drive here in Nassau County you will be arrested and prosecuted. I urge everyone to be responsible and to plan accordingly so all can return home safely to their loved ones. Be smart. Take your local taxi company up on this generous o er.” Said Nassau County executive Edward P. Mangano. “I am pleased to support and promote this generous o er of public service by the local taxi companies listed above”, said Acting Nassau County Commissioner Thomas C. Krumpter. “There is no acceptable excuse for DWI with this o er of a free ride. If you do so in Nassau County, you will be arrested”.

These taxi companies will also give you a free ride back to the driver’s car the next day. “We want all our residents and customers to be safe over the holiday season. During this joyous time of the year, our goal is to prevent or stop any horrible tragedies. If we can avoid one accident or someone from being injured it is well worth it. Don’t drink and drive, let your Transportation Companies be your designated driver and keep you safe,” said Marianne Blessinger, President of Ollie’s Taxi and Airport Service. We thank the media for their participation in notifying the public of this important service. “Stay alive, don’t drink and Drive.
