Federal disaster declarations that list Houston County
Hurricane Michael (FEMA DR-4406, hurricane) was declared on November 5, 2018, and FEMA lists Houston County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of October 10, 2018 to October 13, 2018. Wind, surge, and long power loss can close a commercial kitchen for days, and a facility could keep the cooking line, range, and ovens running and serve meals onsite from a mobile commercial kitchen trailer rental while repairs run. Add a dishwashing trailer rental for the dish room, and a refrigerated trailer rental if the walk-in fails. Facilities near Grimes face the same weather.
