Join PHMSA for National 811 Day!

Every August 11, National 811 Day serves as a reminder to protect our underground infrastructure and prioritize safety by always contacting 811 before any digging project.
To mark the occasion, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is hosting a special National 811 Day Pop-up Event! The gathering offers stakeholders a unique opportunity to engage directly, share insights, and discuss the latest safe digging practices.
Whether you are a homeowner or a professional excavator your voice is essential to advancing damage prevention. Safety is in your hands. Every dig. Every time.
