Emergency response
Our Emergency Response Team consists of about 70 trained members specializing in fire, hazmat, rescue and medical response. Equipped with fire response vehicles and ambulances, the team undergoes rigorous training year-round, including sessions at Texas A&M Fire School, to ensure readiness for any emergency. The team also collaborates with Channel Industries Mutual Aid to ensure readiness for any emergency, in support of our industrial neighbors.
Bayport Polymers also utilizes the Community Awareness Emergency Response CAER) system. It is a smartphone app developed by the East Harris County Manufacturers Association to provide emergency information about industrial incidents and general information about flaring, noise, unusual odors and emergency response drills. Anyone can sign up to receive CAER alerts via the app.
