Pipeline Association for Public Awareness (PAPA)
The Pipeline Association for Public Awareness is a nonprofit corporation created to enhance public safety. The Association was established by a
group of pipeline companies who operate facilities across the United States. PAPA members include natural gas transmission and distribution companies as well as liquid pipeline gathering, transmission and distribution companies. The Association believes communication and cooperation with local organi- zations are key components to protecting life, enhancing public safety, im- proving emergency preparedness, increasing protection of the environment, and preventing damage to pipeline property and facilities.
Recently, PAPA has developed an aggressive information outreach pro-

PAPA also conducts classes for member companies.
