Natural Disaster Risk in Daisy

Natural Hazard Profile: Daisy, Oklahoma

Located in the interior eastern United States in Atoka County, Daisy is a small unincorporated community. The semi-arid climate that characterizes this part of Oklahoma — marked by hot summers, variable winters, and exposure at the center of Tornado Alley — directly influences the types and severity of natural hazards present, making Daisy a community where hazard awareness has real practical value.

Daisy's overall natural disaster risk is rated 5.8/10 (Moderate) by FEMA's National Risk Index. Hail is the primary natural disaster concern, with severe storms delivering baseball-sized or larger hailstones that cause significant insured losses each year. Secondary hazards include ice storm and wildfire.

Relative to other U.S. communities, Daisy's natural disaster risk is above the U.S. national average of 4.5/10, slightly below the 6.4/10 state average. The hazard distribution here is led by hail and ice storm, as measured by FEMA across Atoka County. While city-specific sub-county variation exists, these scores represent the best available federal risk estimate.

With a moderate risk rating, Daisy residents are well-served by maintaining standard preparedness practices — an emergency supply kit, awareness of local hazard seasonality, and insurance that covers the top local risks. Periodic review of coverage for hail is recommended.
