It summarizes the results from a sequence of meetings organized by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), attended by local experts, and supported by several local government agency stakeholders to create a qualitative assessment of extreme weather and climate change impacts on infrastructure assets with a focus on Dallas and Tarrant Counties (which includes the primary cities of Dallas and Fort Worth).
