Savanna, OK
How exposed is Savanna to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Savanna at the 97th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 542 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Savanna's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 98th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 50.9% of Savanna's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 49.1% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 276 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Savanna against the rest of the country
Savanna scores 97th nationally and 92nd within Oklahoma — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Savanna ranks 1,013 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,687 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 68 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Savanna
Savanna's 97th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Savanna
Because Direct exposure dominates in Savanna (50.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Savanna's figures come from
Savanna's 97th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Savanna's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
