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.
