HURRICANES AND ONSHORE PIPELINES

Hurricanes and Onshore Pipelines Since pipelines are mostly underground, the most significant risk of damage from a hurricane is from flooding at water crossings Aerial patrols (helicopter or fixed wing) are used to check conditions as soon as it is safe to do so after the hurricane passes Communications can be an issue with limited or no power for land and cell phones

Hurricanes and Onshore Pipelines Facilities need to be prepared to operate without outside communications for several days after hurricane passes Ample supplies need to be available for operations and employees until outside reinforcements can arrive
