Emergency preparedness
We have a team of rigorously-trained employees to ensure world-class response capabilities. Our response teams routinely test emergency notification equipment and simulate emergency scenarios with city and county teams to ensure preparation and coordination.
We work closely with the city and county to coordinate mutual aid and off-site assistance, helping to safeguard our employees, contractors, neighbors and facilities.
Stay informed
Residents can stay informed and prepared by signing up for the Southeast Texas Alerting Network (STAN) by logging on to www.thestan.com.
Shelter-in-place: What you need to know
In the event of a chemical release, city or county emergency management officials or other authorities may advise residents to shelter-in-place. This means to stay inside homes or other safe structures and secure the building until notified that the situation is safe.
Shelter-in-place warnings are often precautionary, but they should always be followed.
If at home:
- Tightly close all doors and windows; turn off air conditioners, heaters and fans.
- Students shelter in place in schools. Parents should avoid going to pick up children unless school officials direct you to do so.
If at work:
- It may be determined that the safest course of action is to stay inside the building.
- While some employees may make a personal decision to leave, this decision should be made with the best available information.
Hurricane and severe weather preparedness
We constantly monitor weather conditions and prepare our infrastructure and people for the possibility of high winds and storm surges. We have a comprehensive plan for severe weather emergencies.
We conduct hurricane preparedness training annually to help individuals prepare for their specific roles, and identified improvement opportunities.
