Atmos Energy continues to monitor and prepare for Hurricane Delta, urging residents in the path of severe weather to take steps that help ensure personal safety.  “Atmos Energy wants you and your family to be safe in any situation,” said John McDill, Atmos Energy vice president of pipeline safety.  “If your home or business is affected by flooding, tropical storms, hurricanes or a similar event, we want to remind customers to not use natural gas equipment if it is flooded or damaged without first contacting a qualified service person to have it inspected.” If you suspect a natural gas leak or think you smell natural gas inside the home or neighborhood, act fast! Leave the area immediately and from a safe distance call 911 and the Atmos Energy Emergency Number at 1-866-322-8667.  Atmos Energy service technicians are emergency responders and necessary for the safe operation of our system, performing essential services in compliance with social distancing guidelines to limit the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of everyone.  Whether it is a storm, flooding, or other severe weather event, please observe these tips to stay safe:
