CGA Excavation Safety Conference & Expo: 811 or 911...Change One Little Number and Your Whole World Changes
| Presenter: Michael Callan , Callan and Company |
| Session Description |
| This program will talk about the work that is currently being done in emergency response to pipelines and explain the national programs from NASFM and PHMSA Pipeline Emergencies. Unfortunately the major cause of 911 calls for pipeline emergencies still is the failure of the excavators to dial 811. This presentation is a new approach to convince excavators for the need to make the call to 811 or else deal with the sad consequences of not calling 811 and then having to dial 911 for a Pipeline Emergencies.

Mayor Lanny McPherson says "Call Before You Dig"
According to interim mayor Lanny McPherson, his theory that there may be issues concerning water lines while digging holes for the boxes has come to fruition.
As part of the United States Postal Service’s plan to make improvements in their delivery methods, certain areas of the city were expected to receive their mail from the curb by the end of November instead of on their homes. Historic areas were exempt from putting up the boxes.
It is anticipated that curbside mailboxes will help the post office become more efficient and keep their costs down on delivering mail. However, there are some residents that have attempted to dig a hole to place the box only to hit the utility line by digging too deep.
McPherson suggested people call 811 before digging. This number will connect you with Kentucky 811, a service that will contact the nearby utilities agencies who will then come out and mark where their lines are.
When you call 811, there will be an automated message that will direct you to a representative. You will need to provide your county and city, address and the nearest intersecting road.

NASCAR racing and the 811 campaign at the CGA Annual Breakfast held in conjunction with
the 2011 CGA Conference and Expo in Orlando.
Mark-it! Madness, a committee of One Calls of America, implemented the Logano-811
campaign three years ago, enabling participating states to have a celebrity spokesperson at a
fraction of the cost.
Logano has appeared in television, radio and print PSAs promoting the 811 message and has
been featured on several one-call center websites. This year, ads will feature him in an 811-
branded fire suit.
As the NASCAR season comes to a close, Logano celebrates another successful year, ranking
sixth in the NASCAR power rankings.
