Preparing Together for the Unexpected

SM Energy operates its pipelines and related facilities in accordance with applicable federal and state safety requirements and established industry practices. These systems are designed, inspected, monitored, and maintained to support safe and reliable operation. However, pipeline emergencies can still occur as a result of third-party excavation damage, equipment or material failure, severe weather, natural events, or other unforeseen circumstances.

SM Energy welcomes fire departments, law enforcement agencies, emergency management organizations, and other first responders serving communities near its pipeline facilities to participate in its emergency liaison and preparedness program. Through liaison meetings, training, drills, and emergency exercises, SM Energy works with responders to improve familiarity with pipeline operations, potential hazards, communication procedures, and appropriate response actions.

Strong coordination before an emergency occurs helps pipeline personnel and first responders work together quickly and effectively to protect lives, secure the affected area, safeguard property, and reduce potential environmental impacts.

Emergency Response Planning and Liaison

SM Energy works closely with local fire departments, law enforcement agencies, emergency management personnel, dispatch centers, and other first responder organizations to support effective preparation for pipeline-related emergencies. Ongoing coordination helps responders better understand local pipeline operations, potential product hazards, emergency communication procedures, access considerations, and the actions that may be required during an incident.

Through liaison meetings, training opportunities, emergency drills, and preparedness exercises, SM Energy helps promote clear communication and coordinated response before an emergency occurs.
