Federal disaster declarations that list Kent County
Hurricane Irene (FEMA DR-4037, hurricane) was declared on September 30, 2011, and FEMA lists Kent County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of August 25, 2011 to August 31, 2011. 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 Felton face the same weather.
