The Neighborhood Information System
We regularly distribute our brochure “Our Goal – Your Safety” to local residents, which provides information on what to do
in an emergency. The site also has a Neighborhood Information System (NIS) in place that provides direct information and sends
out an alert in the event of an incident. This informs the neighborhood immediately about any event directly affecting the
surrounding area.
Another source of information is the Merck Information Service (19733). The recorded telephone message gives information about
a current incident or indicates if operations are normal. On the neighborhood watch hotline (72 7000) our employees deal personally
with any questions or information from local citizens.
