Citizens Hotline
During an emergency, the City will post the latest information on the Citizens Hotline at 1-866-642-4153. Carrying this number with you will help you and your family stay informed during an emergency. |
CAER Line
A telephone system that can be heard to get information regarding plant activities. The telephone number is 281-476-CAER (2237). The phone line is divided into two sections, emergency messages and non-emergency messages. You will be given the opportunity to choose the section you wish to hear.
Remember the CAER line is used to communicate emergency information and non-emergency information such as fire training or alarm testing. If you do not hear the information in the emergency section check the non-emergency information. Perhaps the smoke you see is an area business conducting fire training and not an actual emergency. |  |
Social Networking Sites
The La Porte Office of Emergency Management uses several social networking sites to send out alerts and advisories before, during, and after an emergency. By using these sites, our citizens will be provided with the latest information during the planning, response, and recovery efforts. These sites allow us to keep the lines of communication open between City officials and La Porte citizens during an emergency. For this reason, we urge you to visit the following sites so that we may continue to improve our communication. Click on each logo to visit our various pages. |
 Emergency Sirens
These sirens are located throughout the cities in such a way that they can be heard in all residential and business areas. In the event of a chemical emergency, the sirens will sound a "whoop, whoop" tone. When the sirens sound, citizens should shelter-in-place, stay off the phone, and tune radios to AM 830 for more information. The sirens were purchased by the LEPC and are maintained by the cities. | | |
