Why were these areas selected?

“These zip codes represent the communities we want to highlight with our final pilot phase,” said Ashley Scott, Deputy Commissioner of External Affairs and director of OKReady. “As we work toward the end of the year, our team looks forward to working with approved contractors and evaluators and helping families make their homes more resilient to future weather events in these new zip codes.”

OID says it looked at several factors, including contractor availability, claim frequency and hail loss.

How can I apply?

Homeowners in the selected zip codes can apply online at oid.ok.gov/OKReady. The site includes eligibility guidelines, required documents, and income-based tiers.
