With several years of experience in the energy industry, Macmichael Nwaiwu serves as a lead engineer at DTE Energy in Detroit. Due to the nature of his work, Macmichael Nwaiwu is a member of the American Gas Association (AGA).
The AGA was founded in 1918 and has grown to represent more than 200 clean natural gas energy companies throughout the United States. Dedicated to customer safety, the AGA’s website offers tips for those affected by hurricanes.
AGA’s first tip is to be aware of how natural gas smells. Natural gas is artificially odorized to give it the offensive smell of rotten eggs, which makes it easier to detect. If you smell rotten eggs, the AGA recommends leaving the house immediately before calling your utility company or 911.
After a disaster, you may need to move and relocate appliances. The AGA warns against doing this alone, suggesting you call a licensed professional or your utility company to help you handle appliances safely.
