Federal disaster declarations that list Duval County
Hurricane Milton (FEMA DR-4834, hurricane) was declared on October 11, 2024, and FEMA lists Duval County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of October 5, 2024 to November 2, 2024. 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. A dishwashing trailer rental and a refrigerated trailer rental can sit alongside it. Facilities near Penney Farms face the same weather.
