CAER

CAER (Community Awareness & Emergency Response) CAER Central is located within the Dow Texas Operations facility.

In 1985, one of the first Industrial CAER (Community Awareness and Emergency Response) programs in the nation was started in the Brazosport area by a few of the local petrochemical and chemical companies — providing a vital link between the industry and the community. Since then, CAER has grown into a 19-member organization assuring emergency preparedness and fostering better communications with r

esidents. CAER coordinates emergency preparedness and response procedures between member companies and promotes emergency planning in the community. As part of alerting the community to chemical emergencies in the area, CAER has surrounded the chemical complexes with 15 strategically-placed sirens, provided a 24-hour CAER line (238-CAER) to share information, and has access to activate the Telephone Alert System (TAS), which can reach residents in a potentially affected area by telephone. CAER's proactive outreach includes a speaker's bureau, advertisements in the local paper and movie theater, and dialogue with local schools, daycares, and critical stakeholders.
