August 28, 2006

MIAMI, FLA (August 28, 2006) Florida City Gas officials are closely monitoring Tropical Storm Ernesto and are preparing for any natural gas emergencies created by the storm or its aftermath. Should Ernesto hit Florida, Florida City Gas, a subsidiary of AGL Resources (NYSE: ATG), advises customers to leave their natural gas service on, even in the event of an evacuation. Customers should not attempt to turn gas off at their meters.

"Our crews are standing by to handle any emergencies created by Ernesto," said Charles Rawson, vice president and general manager at Florida City Gas. "The safest action for our customers is to follow emergency guidelines issued by the State Emergency Response Team."

The State of Florida Emergency Information Line has been activated. Residents needing information regarding Tropical Storm Ernesto can call for information toll-free at 1-800-342-3557 between 8 a.m. and midnight. Additional information on Tropical Storm Ernesto and the State Emergency Response Team can be found at the Florida Division of Emergency Management Web site at http://www.FloridaDisaster.org

For safety reasons, Florida City Gas may need to turn off a customer's service at the meter. If customers find their gas service has been shut off, they will need to call the Florida City Gas Customer Care Center at 1-800-993-7546 to have service restored.

If at any time residents smell rotten eggs or a sulfur-like odor, there could be a natural gas leak. Residents should leave the premises immediately and then call the Florida City Gas 24-hour Emergency Gas Leak number: 1-888-352-5325.

Customers who suspect their natural gas appliances have been flooded or damaged due to the storm should have the equipment inspected and serviced by a qualified gas contractor.
