Get Involved

If you're interested in getting involved, there are numerous ways you can help Rockwall County stay prepared and ready for any emergency, starting with:

Personal Responsibility


Developing a household preparedness plan and emergency supply kit, knowing your hazards, staying alert to severe weather, and participating in crime prevention and reporting.

Volunteer Service


Supporting first responders, disaster relief groups, community safety organizations, local law enforcement, fire departments and emergency medical services.

Training


Taking classes in emergency preparedness, response capabilities, first aid, CPR, fire suppression, and search and rescue procedures. When an actual emergency occurs, it's time to take action. Be prepared to assess the situation at hand and use your common sense to take care of yourself and your loved ones. Seek out and follow directions from authorities at the scene of an emergency. During a large-scale emergency, you can also listen for official instructions through the media.
