MS811 March News & Events 

Every year on March 17, the Irish and the Irish-at-heart across the globe observe St. Patrick's Day. What began as a religious feast day for the patron saint of Ireland has become an international festival celebrating Irish culture with parades, dancing, special foods and a whole lot of green. Did you know the St. Patrick was not even Irish?

Mississippi 811 in cooperation with Enertech is reaching out to our membership to see if there is enough interest to provide a Mock Strike program in our state.  The initial thoughts are to arrange to have it in the Jackson, MS area, sometime in late Summer or early Fall of 2017.  This effort will require enough sponsors to cover the costs.  If you have an interest in helping to provide this unique training and public awareness program, please click HERE and/or contact Enertech for more information.

 Damage Information Reporting Tool (DIRT)

Attention All Members Submitting DIRT report:
CGA's Damage Information Reporting Tool (DIRT) supports all stakeholders by collecting and analyzing underground damage and near miss events. With your submissions, the DIRT report works to consistently depict as accurate a picture of the status of damage prevention as possible. This helps the industry in directing education, measure and trend efforts, develop best practices, and guide legislation for damage prevention.

Any CGA stakeholder may submit events to DIRT. Methods include a single event field form, automated spreadsheet, database or XML data upload. Please visit www.cga-dirt.com to get started and find information, tutorials and a registration link.

For more information on the DIRT program, please contact any Damage Prevention Coordinator or Fred Johnson by phone at (601) 362-4322 or email onecall@ms811.org. To sign up for the DIRT program, please contact Fred Johnson by phone at (601) 362-4322 or email onecall@ms811.org.
