Creating Gas Emergency Events

Gas emergency events record leaks to atmosphere resulting from events such as earthquake, fire, and flood. The record allows you to identify the type of event, date, amount of gas leaked, location, and a detailed description. You can also record the regulatory body to which the event was reported, as well as the amount of gas approved.
APM can generate a gas transaction when you mark the event as approved. The emergency event type determines the transaction type created.
