Southern Star recently partnered with emergency officials at a local emergency planning committee (LEPC) meeting to host a tabletop exercise in Fulton, MO.
This exercise provided an opportunity for our team and first responders to walk through a potential emergency event and identify the best way to partner during these scenarios. These trainings help ensure everyone is prepared and ready to respond and protect the safety of our communities.
Thank you to all the Boone and Callaway County emergency responders who participated and supported fueling safety where we live and work.

As temperatures rise, so does the importance of being mindful of safety concerns.
Whether you’re working or just spending time with family outdoors, remember UV protection and hydration. Take regular breaks and watch for signs of heat stress or other heat-related illnesses.
The best way to beat the heat is with safety in mind.

It would be a WILD choice to not call 811 before you dig.
No matter the scale or size of your digging project, contacting 811 before you dig helps protect neighbors, utilities and even the wildlife that share the yard.
Make the call, and remember safety is in your hands. Every dig. Every time.
