Alarm System

Outdoor Warning System

The Cities of La Porte, Morgan's Point, and Shoreacres use an Outdoor Warning System (PDF) to notify citizens in the event of a chemical emergency.  


Take Shelter

During a chemical emergency, the sirens may be activated. The take shelter siren sounds a "whoop, whoop" tone. 


All Clear

Once the threat has ended, an all clear notification will be issued via the phone notification system. Register for alerts at www.AlertLP.com.
