Ben Frizzell Media Award
This award may be presented yearly for outstanding floodplain management-related stories or publications produced in Oklahoma.
This award was created in 2000 to honor Ben Frizzell, who passed away on May 15, 2000. In 1995, Ben became the Public Information Officer for the Oklahoma Department of Civil Emergency Management and did a marvelous job. Ben was recognized by FEMA in 1994 with its prestigious Meritorious Service Award. The award cited his service during numerous disasters, including the 1992 Hurricane Andrew and the 1993 Midwest Floods. One of Ben’s many sayings was, “Life is too short. It’s like a commercial, hit em’ hard, make your point, then give something to laugh about and remember.”
