Community Alert Systems. Three community alert systems are used by the Chocolate Bayou Polymers Plant to alert residents and businesses to an event at the facility. The first is the Chocolate Bayou Community Awareness Emergency Response Line, or CAER Line. This toll-free line may be reached at 1-877-394-2237 (877-FYI-CAER) for regularly updated information. Residents also may register to receive recorded instructional messages from FirstCall, an emergency automatic dialing system. Call 866-484-3264 to register. If a shelter in place was required, a five-minute alert siren would sound. Shelter in place means to stay inside, close doors and windows and turn off air conditioners or heaters.
