Federal disaster declarations that list Jackson County
Tropical Storm Debby (FEMA EM-3605, tropical storm) was declared on August 3, 2024, and FEMA lists Jackson County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of August 1, 2024 to August 27, 2024. Tropical storms bring flooding and power loss within hours, and a commercial kitchen that goes dark could keep serving meals from a mobile commercial kitchen trailer rental, with its own range and ovens, until the building is back. A dishwashing trailer rental and a refrigerated trailer rental can sit alongside it. Facilities near Wausau face the same weather.
