INCOG is the govt agency tasked with community planning and zoning research. KOTV's chief weather forecaster, Travis Meyer, wrote an excellent article for KOTV's News on 6 website, to talk about what dangers the Tulsa area may face (and is now suffering) because we build in so many risky low level properties which were very much underwater, in the 1986 flood, which was the result of massive emergency releases of Keystone Dam waters. In 2016, The Creek Nation boasted their excellence in avoiding the perils of the 1986 flooding when they built the newest additions to the River Spirit Casino.
