16 16 Preliminary Survey Results – Top 3 Responses validate DCP Midstream’s school campaign and chosen elements Large safety brochures are not effective communications –Unknown pipeline location in relation to school –Recall of key safety messages is poor School administrators prefer email when DCP Midstream communicates safety messages to them 75% indicate they want contact from a DCP Midstream representative to discuss pipeline location, safety information and emergency preparedness

18 18 Closing Comments Encroachment must be accompanied by risk management Regulations require operators to measure effectiveness of the Public Awareness program & show continuous improvement –Targeting school administrators is a manageable first step –DCP Midstream 's school program is forward thinking due to risk- based and measurement-driven approach Ambassador Program is an effective way to facilitate dialog between local field operations and school administrators
