In 1985, several Ascension Parish Chemical Companies joined forces, brought together by their desire to educate area residents about the industry’s function in the community. The result was the 16-member Ascension Parish Chemical Industry’s Community Awareness Emergency Response, or CAER, Committee. The 15 chemical company representatives, and the Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness that made up CAER, comprised a program designed to inform the community about the chemical industry, what it manufactures, and what chemicals are used in the plants. Since its beginning, the CAER Committee has been actively involved in providing the Ascension Parish community with new and up-to-date information about chemical emission, inventories and emergency procedures.
