Atoka County has been officially added to a statewide disaster declaration following a wave of heavy rain and severe weather that swept through the region earlier this week.
Governor Kevin Stitt issued the fourth amendment to Executive Order 2026-22 on Friday, June 26, 2026, extending a State of Emergency to Atoka, McCur- tain, and Pawnee counties. The disaster declaration initially stems from dangerous flooding and severe weather systems that began impacting public and private properties across Oklahoma on June 6.
The amendment brings the total number of counties included in the declaration to 15, placing Atoka alongside Beaver, Canadian, Cherokee, Creek, Grady, Hughes, Kay, McCurtain, McIntosh, Okfuskee, Oklahoma, Ottawa, Pawnee, and Tulsa counties.
