Apologies. This refers to the escape of a gas as in LPG . Sorry for not providing the correct information. Thank you

You should provide more context, fuga can apply to a person (escape) or liquid (leak, spill)

The important thing is to prevent it from leaking and what to do if it does leak.

Lo importante es evitar que se escape y qué hacer si llega a fugarse.

The important thing is to prevent it from leaking and what to do if it does leak.

I refer, of course to gases, for if we were talking about a dangerous prisoner the same exact sentence would read quite differently in English:

The important thing is to prevent him from escaping and what to do if he gets away.
