Additional Information
Rockwall County and the cities of Fate, Heath, McLendon-Chisholm, Mobile City, Rockwall and Royse City, including Rockwall and Royse City Independent School Districts have partnered together to complete a comprehensive multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan for Rockwall County. The goal of the Hazard Mitigation Plan is to minimize or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from known natural hazards by identifying and implementing cost-effective mitigation actions. Mitigation is defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as sustained actions taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from hazards and their effects.
