The CAER sirens are one of the tools CAER member companies can use to notify community members of an industrial incident requiring action. CAER companies may also utilize the IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert and Warning) system to issue an alert via cell phones to an affected area. There is no sign-up required; messages are automatically geotargeted to all cell phones in a specified area. The Code Red system is another automated alert system; however, it requires individuals to sign up. Visit brazosportcaer.com for more information.
