ABOUT TN-PERI:
The Tennessee Pipeline Emergency Responders Initiative (TN-PERI) was created to improve communications between emergency responders and pipeline operators within the state by spurring the development and implementation of enhanced pipeline emergency response training. TN-PERI is supported and funded by PHMSA, select pipeline operators, and in cooperation with the Tennessee Fire Chiefs Association. All TN-PERI trainings, events, resources and support are provided at no-cost to responders.
