How Energy Transfer Maintains Operational Readiness During Hurricane Season

When hurricane season arrives, energy infrastructure faces some of the most challenging operating conditions of the year. High winds, heavy rainfall, flooding and storm surge can affect communities across the Gulf Coast and beyond, making preparation essential for both public safety and energy reliability.

For Energy Transfer, preparing for severe weather is not a seasonal exercise. It is an ongoing commitment that shapes how we design, operate and maintain our assets year-round.

Across our footprint, teams continually assess potential weather-related risks and refine response plans to ensure facilities are ready before a storm ever appears in the forecast. This proactive approach helps minimize disruptions and supports the safe operation of critical energy infrastructure when communities need it most.

A key component of that readiness is maintaining the integrity and reliability of our assets. Energy Transfer invests heavily in inspection, maintenance and modernization programs that support safe operations and regulatory compliance across our network. These efforts are designed not only to protect infrastructure but also to strengthen its resilience against extreme weather.

As storms approach, operational teams increase their level of preparedness. Personnel, equipment and resources may be strategically positioned in areas that could be affected by severe weather, helping ensure that trained employees and critical supplies are available when and where they are needed.

Power continuity is another important focus. Many facilities are equipped with backup generation capabilities and other support equipment that can help sustain operations during electrical outages. Maintaining access to these resources enhances our ability to respond quickly and safely if weather conditions impact commercial power service.

The benefits of preparation extend far beyond our facilities. Reliable energy infrastructure helps support hospitals, emergency responders, businesses and families that depend on fuel and energy supplies during and after major weather events. Effective planning also helps reduce operational risks and supports environmental protection efforts throughout the response and recovery process.

At Energy Transfer, hurricane preparedness is part of a broader culture centered on safety, reliability and operational excellence. By preparing in advance, investing in our systems and empowering our employees, we strive to ensure that our infrastructure remains resilient even when nature is at its most unpredictable.

Because long before a storm makes landfall, preparation is already underway.
