GOVERNOR STITT HAS DECLARED MAY AS FLOOD AWARENESS MONTH IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA.

Seminole is particularly susceptible to flooding, especially during intense rainfall events that bring more than 2 inches of rain per hour. Flash floods can develop quickly under these conditions, posing a serious risk to homes, roads, and infrastructure.

If you are unsure whether your property is located in a floodplain, it's important to check official flood maps and resources. The City of Seminole provides access to an interactive floodplain map where residents can search their address and determine their flood risk.

In addition:

• Contact the City of Seminole’s Floodplain Administrator for guidance and documentation.

• Consider purchasing flood insurance, even if your home isn’t in a designated flood zone—about 25% of flood claims come from outside high-risk areas.

• Stay alert during heavy rain events and heed any flood watches or warnings from the National Weather Service.
