Disaster emergency declared for multiple counties in eastern Oklahoma following floods
Governor Kevin Stitt signed an executive order on Sunday, declaring a disaster emergency for Creek, Okfuskee, and Tulsa counties following damage caused by floods in parts of eastern Oklahoma.
“The State and local emergency managers continue to assess damage after significant flooding in eastern Oklahoma,” said Governor Stitt. “Keep an eye out for neighbors that might need help. Thank you to the first responders who are working quickly to clear roads and keep Oklahomans safe.”
This executive order will activate the State Emergency Operations Plan, which directs state agencies to make resources available to protect those impacted. These efforts will be coordinated by the Oklahoma Department of Emergency
Anyone with a home or business impacted by damage should report damage at damage.ok.gov.
The governor said additional counties are still being assessed and may be added to the declaration.
