National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS)

The National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS) is a U.S. government program that provides maps and data about the country's pipeline infrastructure. It helps track the routes of oil and gas pipelines to ensure safety and environmental protection. The NPMS enhances public awareness by showing pipeline locations, which is essential for emergency responders, landowners, and communities. The program aims to promote transparency and inform the public about potential hazards associated with pipelines, allowing for better planning and response in case of leaks or other incidents. Overall, it plays a critical role in pipeline safety and risk management.
