Introducing Billy Forest
Damage Prevention Coordinator
Do you know what lies beneath?
At Entergy, safety is our number one priority. Make it yours! Whether you are a homeowner, field worker or excavator, always call 811 before you dig.
From installing a new pool to something as simple as planting a tree, digging without knowing what’s beneath the surface can harm or possibly kill you or someone you love. You could disrupt utility services to your neighborhood and be responsible for expensive repairs and steep fines.
When you call 811 before you dig, all utilities, including Entergy, are required to respond within two business days to locate and mark the underground utility lines. (The two business days start the morning of the day after you called in for a locate ticket).
And if you suspect a gas leak, leave the area immediately and call 1-800-ENTERGY (368-3749) or 911. A gas leak could be happening if you smell the distinctive natural gas odor, hear a hissing or whistling sound
near a gas appliance or see dead vegetation or bubbles near a gas line.
We’re committed to keeping you safe. Together, we power life.

It is an honor to be a part of Louisiana One Call. My career has taken me through the utility industry as well as the oil and gas industry. Over the years, I have been able to gain a wealth of knowledge in safety and damage prevention. I am excited to continue learning and sharing knowledge
on the importance of dig safety. My goal is to reach as much of Louisiana’s workforce as well as its residents to share the importance of 811. I am proud to serve our citizens while raising safety awareness.
