Jefferson County Judge Jeff Branick has issued a voluntary evacuation for the city of Port
Neches due to elevated levels of 1,3-Butadiene. The current levels do not pose a serious
health risk, but may cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, irritated eyes and throat. If you are
experiencing any of these symptoms you are asked to leave your location. A temporary shelter
has been set up at Ford Park. The Port Neches-Groves School District has cancelled school for
the remainder of the week
