Last week, the City of Dallas was awarded a notable rating by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), placing the city among the top for floodplain management and risk reduction efforts. Recognized with a Class 3 Rating in the Community Rating System (CRS) Program, the city’s initiatives have earned it a spot that only about 9% of municipalities nationwide share this designation, indicating Dallas’s commitment to stringent floodplain management practices and policies that exceed FEMA’s minimum requirements. Dallas City News reported the recognition.
