Is There an Event Horizon for a Black Hole?

If time dilation approaches zero, could set particle fall into a black hole before it evaporates completely? Yes, that's an easy calculation. It's a little bit sut because when you have a black hole that doesn't evaporate, there is no event horizon really for an evaporating black whole. So that complicates things. What you can do is you can define an apparent horizon. There is a way with making reference to the future evaporation of the black hole.
