Risk Overview
About Natural Disaster Risk in Logan County, Oklahoma
Logan County exceeds typical U.S. risk
Logan County's composite risk score of 74.68 places it in the "Relatively Low" category but well above the national average. The county faces a multi-hazard profile dominated by tornado and wildfire threats.
Among Oklahoma's higher-risk counties
At 74.68, Logan County's composite risk significantly outpaces Oklahoma's state average of 55.47. This ranking reflects consistent elevation across multiple hazard types, particularly tornadoes and wildfires.
Similar risk to Lincoln County
Logan County (74.68) faces nearly identical overall risk as neighboring Lincoln County (71.31), making it one of the more exposed areas in the region. Both counties are substantially riskier than their southwestern neighbors Major County (34.19) and Love County (21.12).
Tornado and wildfire lead threats
Tornado risk dominates at 92.75, while wildfire risk scores 78.47—both above state average. Flood risk is moderate at 50.70, while earthquake and hurricane risks remain relatively contained.
Prepare for severe weather and fire
Ensure your homeowner's policy covers wind and hail damage from tornadoes, and verify wildfire coverage is adequate for your property value. Consider a safe room or reinforced shelter area as a physical protection complement to insurance.

Risk Verdict
With a national percentile rank of 75th, Logan County faces below-average hazard exposure relative to U.S. counties as a whole. Above-average risk does not mean imminent danger; it signals that informed, hazard-specific preparedness has high value here.
Hazard Breakdown
Tornado risk is Logan County's dominant natural hazard, ranked at the 93th percentile nationally under FEMA's National Risk Index. Wildfire ranks second at the 78th percentile nationally. Additional tracked hazards include flood (51th percentile), earthquake (42th percentile), hurricane (21th percentile).
Preparedness Context
At the 93th percentile nationally for tornado risk, Logan County households benefit most from a reliable alert system — a NOAA weather radio that activates during overnight hours when residents may not be checking smartphone alerts. The secondary wildfire hazard at the 78th percentile nationally adds seasonal complexity to Logan County's preparedness calendar, since wildfire and tornado risk often peak at different points in the year. For Logan County households, a pre-decided family shelter plan — who goes where, how children are retrieved from school during a warning, and a neighborhood meet-up point if phones fail — provides real protection that no supply kit alone can replicate.
Regional Context
At 19.2 points above the Oklahoma state average, Logan County carries meaningfully higher natural disaster exposure than a typical Oklahoma county.
