Holiday campaign to include daily social media tips to keep friends, family and neighbors safe during the holiday season and to promote the importance of preparedness and safety for winter storm season
The new holiday campaign will provide important daily winter and holiday safety tips and tools for customers, as well as a social media campaign with safety resources and tips to help customers better prepare for the winter season. The holiday campaign follows a series of pre-winter preparedness actions CenterPoint has taken to strengthen and winterize its electric and gas infrastructure, as well as inspect and test cold-weather critical equipment ahead of severe weather that could impact the gas and electric system in the winter months.
"This holiday season, and through winter, we want all our customers to know about the array of safety actions we are taking to be prepared for the winter storm season, as well as how they, their families, and neighbors can be safe and better prepared for storms to come. To date, we have taken a range of actions to get ready, and we want our customers to take some simple steps to plan and stay safe ahead of extreme cold and winter storms," said Richard Leger, Senior Vice President of CenterPoint Energy's Natural Gas business.
