• M & O will be visiting each site to check earthquake valves.  If necessary, they will reset the valve.
• If you smell a gas odor or have any significant damage to your site, contact Risk Management.
• Please have a custodian or a designee from your site check for structural damage.

This might be a good time to reread the April 2005 Safety Bulletin on earthquake preparedness!
