Collin County Has a Hazard Mitigation Plan That Covers Natural Disasters

The Collin County Fire Marshal's office handles wildfire prevention and burn ban rules for unincorporated areas. The county also has a Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. It is a written plan that lists local risks. It guides how the county spends money to reduce harm before disasters happen. The plan covers tornadoes, floods, wildfires, and severe winter weather.

You can sign up for emergency alerts on the county website. That lets you get warnings on your phone or by email. The National Weather Service Fort Worth at weather.gov/fwd covers Collin County with forecasts and warnings. During spring storm season, check that site often. Also watch your local alert channels for tornado and severe weather warnings.
