Pittsburg County floodplain administrator reports few inquiries in November, highlights expanding drought and posts safety tips
Summary
Floodplain Administrator Greg Casey reported only a few non‑construction inquiries in November, no permits issued, and circulated a climate summary showing expanding drought in southern Oklahoma. The report included flood‑safety guidance and a note on training attended.
Pittsburg County Floodplain Administrator Greg Casey presented the November 2025 floodplain report to the Board of County Commissioners on Dec. 22, 2025, saying the office received only a couple of inquiries that month (neither tied to construction) and that no floodplain permits were issued.
Casey noted two specific public inquiries: a FEMA flood map request for property at 281 Sharp Rock Road and a resident seeking information about a water well and floodplain status. The report included state‑level climate information showing that drought expanded across parts of southern Oklahoma in November and summarizing statewide temperature and precipitation anomalies.
The report urged residents to know their flood risk, assemble emergency kits and consider flood insurance, and it directed readers to state and federal flood safety resources. Casey's packet also recorded attendance at OWRB Floodplain Management 102 training on Nov. 4.
The board reviewed the floodplain report; no permits or enforcement actions were recorded for November.
