The verdict
Two federal records point in the busier direction for Logan County. Its 47 FEMA declarations are 46% above the Oklahoma county mean and exceed the count for 99% of the 3,266 counties in this registry. Separately, FEMA's National Risk Index places it in the riskiest 25%, based on modeled expected annual loss, social vulnerability, and community resilience.

Logan County's FEMA Risk Index score
Which hazard drives modeled loss here?
FEMA's modeled annual dollar loss for Logan County is led by Cold Wave (about $10.1M Expected Annual Loss, Historical Loss Ratio Relatively High), while Ice Storm carries the highest National Risk Index rating (Relatively High). EAL and risk score use different inputs; they need not agree.

What does Logan County's hazard record show?
Reading the federal records together
The NFIP claims register shows a middle-volume loss record here: 460 paid claims, totaling $4.9M. PlainHazard uses 50-499 claims for this descriptive band; FEMA does not publish it as a safety or coverage category. The $10.7K average describes payments on recorded claims only, leaving uninsured damage and properties without a claim outside the measure.
The declaration register points in the busier direction. Logan County's 47 federal records stand 46% above the Oklahoma county mean of 32.2. That comparison describes how often federal action was recorded, including any Major Disaster, Emergency, and Fire Management entries shown on this page; it does not convert the count into future probability.
FEMA National Risk Index
This county carries a high composite score on FEMA's National Risk Index, 74.7/100, rated Relatively Low. Its Expected Annual Loss rating is Relatively Low (roughly $35.2M in annualized losses), and a Relatively Low social-vulnerability profile combined with Relatively High community resilience shapes how much of that raw exposure becomes realized harm. Of the 18 hazards FEMA models, Ice Storm stands out as the sharpest exposure here, rated Relatively High. FEMA's modeled frequency puts that hazard at an average of 1.1 times per year here, based on 76 historical events on record.

How often does each hazard strike Logan County?
FEMA's National Risk Index models a historical event count and an annualized frequency for each hazard type. Most hazards are expressed as modeled occurrences per year; FEMA expresses drought and heat-wave frequency as event-days per year. These modeled frequencies are not forecasts.
| Hazard | NRI Risk Rating | Recurrence |
|---|---|---|
| Ice Storm | Relatively High | an average of 1.1 times per year |
| Cold Wave | Relatively High | an average of 2.2 times per year |
| Tornado | Relatively High | roughly once every 1 years |
| Hail | Relatively Moderate | an average of 11 times per year |
| Heat Wave | Relatively Moderate | 19 modeled event-days per year |
| Drought | Relatively Moderate | 37 modeled event-days per year |
| Wildfire | Relatively Low | roughly once every 385 years |
| Winter Weather | Relatively Moderate | an average of 9.7 times per year |
| Strong Wind | Relatively Moderate | an average of 5.9 times per year |
| Landslide | Very Low | roughly once every 5 years |
| Riverine Flooding | Relatively Low | roughly once every 2 years |
| Earthquake | Very Low | roughly once every 813 years |
| Hurricane | Very Low | roughly once every 87 years |

What Severe Storm declarations mean here
Severe Storm is the most frequent declaration type on Logan County's record, 36% of its declarations. In FEMA's vocabulary this covers convective weather: thunderstorm straight-line winds, large hail, and the multi-day outbreaks that often carry embedded tornadoes. Activity is heaviest in spring and summer, though the season varies by region.
These events behave differently from a hurricane on paper. Damage tends to be distributed along a storm track rather than concentrated on a coastline, and a declaration typically follows an outbreak that crossed several counties over a few days, not a single point of impact. Because the qualifying threshold is the cost of uninsured public and individual losses rather than storm intensity, two similar storms can produce a declaration in one year and none in another.
Declaration counts describe past federal action. They are a record of what was declared, not a forecast of future hazard probability.

The model's sharpest exposure here: Ice Storm
Ice storms load power lines and tree limbs with accumulating freezing rain until they fail. The characteristic cost is infrastructure and multi-day power loss across a wide area rather than structural damage to buildings, which is why their consequences often outlast the weather that caused them.
Worth noting for Logan County: the model and the federal record do NOT point at the same hazard. Ice Storm carries the highest modeled rating (Relatively High), while the county's declaration history is led by Severe Storm. That is not a contradiction, the two measure genuinely different things. Declarations record federal ACTION, which requires damage costly enough to exceed state and local capacity; the Risk Index models EXPECTED annual loss across all 18 hazards whether or not any declaration ever followed. A hazard can be the county's largest modeled exposure and never once have driven a declaration.
National Risk Index ratings are modeled estimates of expected annual loss, not predictions of what will happen in any given year.

How these peers are chosen
Cohort: Published U.S. county equivalents outside the source state or territory. Each metric keeps six ETL candidates; three unique destinations are shown after de-duplicating across axes. Declaration-volume ranking combines count and Major-disaster share and prefers a different leading incident type; Major-share ranks the Major fraction adjusted for volume; NRI ranks the modeled composite score only.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common disaster type in Logan County?
The most common disaster type in Logan County is Severe Storm, with 17 declarations. Other disaster types include Severe Ice Storm (10), Fire (8), Flood (7).
How does Logan County's FEMA declaration record compare with the Oklahoma average?
FEMA lists 47 declaration records for Logan County. That is 46% above the Oklahoma county mean of 32.2. Its count is also 127% above the national county mean of 20.7. A larger declaration history records more federal actions; it is not a forecast of the county's next hazard.
How many major FEMA disaster declarations has Logan County received?
Logan County has received 34 major disaster declarations, representing 72% of all 47 disaster declarations.
How many flood insurance claims has Logan County filed?
Logan County has 460 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) claims totaling $4.9M in payments, with an average of $10.7K per claim.
Does FEMA's top risk-rated hazard match the highest Expected Annual Loss in Logan County?
No. In Logan County, Ice Storm has the highest National Risk Index rating (Relatively High), while Cold Wave leads Expected Annual Loss at about $10.1M. FEMA's risk score and dollar-loss model use different inputs, so the leaders often differ.
What was the worst year for disasters in Logan County?
The most active year for disaster declarations in Logan County was 2007, with 5 declarations. The county has FEMA disaster data spanning 1974 to 2025.
What is the FEMA National Risk Index score for Logan County?
According to the FEMA National Risk Index, Logan County, Oklahoma has an overall risk score of 74.7 out of 100 (Relatively Low). Social vulnerability here rates Relatively Low, while community resilience comes in at Relatively High. The Expected Annual Loss (EAL) score is Relatively Low, representing $35.2M in annualized losses.
Which natural hazard poses the greatest risk to Logan County?
The top hazard flagged by FEMA's NRI for Logan County as of the latest release is Ice Storm (risk rating: Relatively High). Other significant hazards include Cold Wave (Relatively High) and Tornado (Relatively High). FEMA's modeled event frequency puts ice storm here at an average of 1.1 times per year, drawn from 76 historical events on record. The underlying methodology weighs historical event frequency against exposed assets and community vulnerability.
Data Sources & Methodology
Disaster declaration data comes from the FEMA OpenFEMA Disaster Declarations Summaries v2 API, which includes all federally declared disasters, emergencies, and fire management assistance grants.
Storm event data is sourced from the NOAA Storm Events Database (2015-2025), which tracks significant weather events including thunderstorms, tornadoes, floods, and winter storms.
Flood insurance data comes from the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) OpenFEMA claims dataset.
This data is provided for informational purposes only. FEMA disaster declarations represent federal response actions and may not capture all local emergencies or weather events.
