Concerned Citizens for Natural Gas Safety is a coalition committed to raising awareness about residential natural gas safety. We educate consumers on best practices and advocate for the widespread adoption of natural gas alarms as a critical layer of home protection.

​

We believe natural gas safety is a shared responsibility. That’s why we work in partnership with utilities, policymakers, and community leaders to highlight the role of alarms in supporting and expanding the reach of existing safety infrastructure to prevent natural gas incidents.

​

Our mission is to protect families and neighborhoods by advocating for commonsense safety measures. Together, we are building a culture of prevention, one home at a time.
