Hurricane Ian (FEMA DR-4673, hurricane) was declared on September 29, 2022, and FEMA lists Miami-Dade County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of September 23, 2022 to November 4, 2022. 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 Surfside face the same weather.
