What should I do if I smell gas in my area?

If you smell gas in your area, it is important to take immediate action. Leave the area immediately and warn others to do the same. Do not use any electronic devices or appliances, as they could ignite the gas. Once you are at a safe distance, call your local gas provider or emergency services to report the smell. Never attempt to locate the source of the leak yourself, leave it to the professionals. Your safety is the top priority in this situation, so always err on the side of caution if you suspect a gas leak.
