Subject: Tulsa, Oklahoma, was founded over 100 years ago along creeks and a major river (the Arkansas) and has experienced a long history of floods that have been exacerbated by growth, floodplain development, and frequent rainstorms. By the 1980s, the federal government had declared Tulsa County a flood disaster area nine times in 15 years, more than any other community in the U.S. This booklet was prepared to document Tulsa's costly lessons in dealing with these events. It includes sections on Tulsa's geographic setting and flood history; the city's policies for watershed management; its programs that address regulation and planning, capital projects, maintenance and operations, stormwater quality, emergency management, and public awareness and; Tulsa'a plans for future floodplain management
