Natural Hazard Profile: ZIP 74557, Oklahoma
Located in the interior eastern United States, ZIP 74557 serves the Moyers community. The semi-arid climate of this part of Oklahoma — bringing hot summers, variable winters, and exposure at the center of Tornado Alley — directly shapes the hazard exposure for properties in this postal area.
ZIP 74557's overall natural disaster risk is rated 5.7/10 (Moderate) by FEMA's National Risk Index. The area faces significant ice storm exposure, where the thermal profile of the atmosphere during winter storms frequently delivers freezing rain rather than snow. Secondary hazards include wildfire and drought.
Relative to other U.S. communities, ZIP 74557'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 ice storm and wildfire, as measured by FEMA across Oklahoma. While city-specific sub-county variation exists, these scores represent the best available federal risk estimate.
ZIP 74557's moderate risk profile means that while catastrophic events are less frequent, they do occur. Standard homeowners insurance typically covers many common hazards here, but confirming that ice storm exposure is adequately protected is a worthwhile step for property owners.
