Inola, Oklahoma
8 Land Tracts in Mayes County , Lower Verdigris Watershed
Inola, Oklahoma, located in Rogers County, faces relatively moderate climate risks due to its proximity to the Neosho - Verdigris hydrologic subregion. The area experiences moderate precipitation levels and temperatures, contributing to a relatively low overall risk rating. However, the region is susceptible to tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, which can result in significant damage and disruption. Inola's location in the Lower Verdigris hydrologic unit also exposes it to potential flooding risks.
Inola's geological features, including nearby fault lines and mountain peaks, pose additional hazards. The area is situated near the Arkansas-White-Red hydrologic region, which can increase the risk of flash floods and landslides during heavy rainfall events. Furthermore, the presence of the Verdigris River in the region adds to the potential for flooding, especially during periods of increased precipitation. Inola's vulnerability to these natural disasters underscores the importance of preparedness and mitigation efforts to minimize the impact on the local community.
While Inola has a relatively low risk rating overall, the combination of climate factors, geological features, and nearby water bodies necessitates proactive disaster planning. Past historical events, such as tornado outbreaks and flooding incidents in the region, serve as reminders of the potential risks faced by the community. By understanding and addressing these hazards, residents of Inola can better protect themselves and their property from the impacts of natural disasters.
