ROCKWALL COUNTY, TX (Aug. 10, 2026) – Building a more prepared and resilient community takes teamwork, and that spirit of collaboration was on display during the recent Rockwall Ready Open House at the Rockwall County Courthouse Annex. Rockwall Ready is a collaborative coalition of community organizations working alongside the Rockwall County Office of Emergency Management (RCOEM) to coordinate resources effectively before, during and after disasters. First, it allowed residents to learn about and connect with community organizations involved in disaster response,” said Emergency Management Coordinator Jarod Rosson. Organizations interested in becoming part of Rockwall Ready may contact Emergency Management Coordinator Jarod Rosson at emergencymanagement@rockwallcountytexas.com or 972-204-7080.
