Responding to Utility Emergencies

Welcome to Xcel Energy's Emergency Responder Awareness Training Website

The public safety officer is typically first on the scene when utilities are damaged, whether in response to a downed power line due to a vehicle accident or an excavator digging into a natural gas pipeline.

Xcel Energy is providing this website to help emergency responders recognize potential hazards involving electricity, natural gas and the necessary guidelines to assure their safety and that of the general public.
