Regional Emergency Preparedness Program

The Regional Emergency Preparedness Program is one of the largest and most effective programs of its kind in the United States. Bringing together urban, suburban, and rural jurisdictions, the program facilitates information sharing, collaboration, and cooperation between jurisdictions in a politically neutral and supportive environment. The resulting planning, projects and programs help build both local and regional capabilities, and enhance the protection of our North Central Texas populations and critical infrastructure.
