Tulsa County approves Emergency Management grant application after weekend storm declaration

Summary

After a weekend storm and a governor'issued declaration covering three counties, Tulsa County commissioners approved a grant application to seek reimbursement for damages; officials warned of a $2,000,000 cap on uninsured damage and urged reporting of critical-infrastructure impacts.

Tulsa County commissioners on June 8 unanimously approved a grant application from Tulsa County Emergency Management following a weekend storm and a governor-issued declaration covering three counties. An agency official said the declaration will allow the county to claim damages and staff are coordinating with nearby cities and towns.

"So what that'll give us is the ability to claim damages, within the county, and we're working with the communities right now," the agency official said, urging residents and local agencies to report damage. The official also told the board there is a "$2,000,000 cap right now" on uninsured damages and that critical infrastructure claims are a priority. The board moved to approve the grant application (Item 8b) and recorded affirmative roll-call votes.
