Shell Deer Park Tropical Storm Nicholas – Update #1

(Issued at 3:00 PM CST): Shell Deer Park is closely monitoring Tropical Storm (TS) Nicholas and is prepared to take action as appropriate based on our established Tropical Storm/Hurricane Readiness and Response plans.

Shell Deer Park continues to operate at normal rates while monitoring the situation closely and taking the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of our employees and manufacturing processes. Our 24-hour emergency operations center for readiness and response activities has been activated with health and safety, operations, environmental and other specialists on duty to ensure that steps are taken to minimize any impact from wind, rain and storm surge associated with TS Nicholas.

The facility regularly confers with our local emergency operations centers to share information on preparedness and response tasks, and we work closely with city officials whenever severe weather could affect local residents. Protection of our people and assets, the community and environment are our top priorities.

Additional updates will be posted on Shells U.S. Storm Center Website.
