Is Muskogee County, OK in a flood zone?

FEMA's National Risk Index puts Muskogee County's flood hazard at the 78th percentile nationally — a middling flood hazard by national standards — driven by inland rivers and flash flooding rather than the coast — FEMA's model puts a flood event here at about 2.7 times a year. This describes the county, not any one street — FEMA only publishes exact parcel zones through a live map service.

Who actually carries the flood insurance FEMA requires

14.2% of the homes FEMA requires to carry flood insurance in Muskogee County — those inside the mapped Special Flood Hazard Area — actually have a policy in force: 94 policies against 660 mandated structures, which means a meaningful share of legally-required coverage simply isn't there. Across all residential structures in Muskogee County, not just the ones FEMA mandates, 0.6% carry an NFIP policy — most flood damage nationally happens outside the mapped high-risk zone, so that broader number matters too.
