While pipeline emergencies are rare, exhaustive planning and ongoing practice ensures operators are prepared to quickly and effectively respond if an incident does happen.
Pipeline operators regularly conduct emergency response exercises to make sure their response plans are well-tested and comprehensive, and employees are prepared to handle an emergency.
All pipeline companies have specific emergency response plans for every pipeline they operate to ensure a timely and thorough response.
CEPA members have formally committed to work together to improve response capabilities by sharing resources and best practices during an emergency.
