Dallas County Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

Dallas County’s preparedness goal is to support secure and resilient communities with the capabilities to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to our residents. 

The 2025 Hazard Mitigation Action Plan includes 20 jurisdictions and includes projects or action items that could be implemented within Dallas County to mitigate the hazards identified. This plan is important because the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 makes the development of a hazard mitigation plan a specific eligibility requirement for any local government applying for federal mitigation grant funding, including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and the Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Program. The plan is to be updated every five years after approval.
