Federal disaster declarations that list Covington County
Severe Storms And Flooding (FEMA DR-4546, severe storm) was declared on May 21, 2020, and FEMA lists Covington 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 or a refrigerated trailer rental can be added when needed. Facilities near Andalusia face the same weather.
