Due to extreme cold temperatures and hazardous road conditions, Tulsa County will close the Tulsa County Courthouse and Tulsa County Headquarters on Monday, January 26. Tulsa City Hall and other public-facing City facilities will also be closed. Officials say City business will continue to be conducted over the phone or online. Most area schools are also closed.

According to media releases, the decisions were made to help ensure the safety of the public and county employees as winter weather continues to impact the area.

The regularly scheduled Board of County Commissioners meeting has been rescheduled for Tuesday, January 27. Additional updates will be shared as needed.

The Tulsa County Emergency Management office continues to work with the City of Tulsa Emergency Management to support Tulsa and the surrounding communities. Daily updates between local partners help monitor essential community services and take action when needed to keep people safe.

Tulsa County highway crews have been working 24/7, using all available resources to address county roads and respond to winter weather conditions. At this time, there are no reported issues impacting county-maintained roadways.

To support these ongoing efforts, Tulsa County has the following resources in place:

• 15 trucks equipped with snowplows and salt spreaders

• 3 brine application trucks

• 1 motor grader for heavy plowing

• Approximately 6,000 tons of salt and 6,000 gallons of brine

If you must be out on the roads, please slow down and give crews plenty of space to work safely.

Recycling will resume the following week, with customers being allowed to put extra recyclables in a recyclable container (i.e. cardboard box) alongside their blue recycling cart.  

Street Operations

Street crews continue to be on 24-hour operations, with the PM shift reporting at midnight tonight to continue plowing and treating Tulsa’s roads. Most of Tulsa’s roads have at least one lane that has been plowed, with various others now having multiple lanes plowed due to crews plowing in groups.

Tulsa County Emergency Management Director Bill Smiley urges residents to prepare now and remain vigilant as hazardous conditions continue.
