Overview
- Governor Kevin Stitt signed an executive order that places Creek, Okfuskee and Tulsa counties under a state disaster emergency after heavy rain and flooding over the weekend.
- The declaration activates the State Emergency Operations Plan so state agencies can mobilize personnel, equipment and supplies to protect life and property.
- The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management is coordinating with local jurisdictions and stands ready to work with federal partners if damage assessments show that extra support is needed.
- Local crews reported water entering yards and homes in places such as Sapulpa, roads blocked by debris and event disruptions including canceled or paused races at Saint Francis Tulsa Tough.
- Officials are conducting ongoing damage surveys, asking affected residents and business owners to report losses at Damage.ok.gov, and warning that more counties could be added to the declaration as assessments continue.
