Federal disaster declarations that list Choctaw County
Severe Storms And Flooding (FEMA DR-4546, severe storm) was declared on May 21, 2020, and FEMA lists Choctaw County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of February 5, 2020 to March 6, 2020. Storm damage often takes out power and roofs before it takes out equipment, and a commercial kitchen without power could cook from a mobile commercial kitchen trailer rental with its own range, griddle, and ovens. A dishwashing trailer rental and a refrigerated trailer rental can sit alongside it. Facilities near Lisman face the same weather.

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.
