Federal disaster declarations that list Letcher County
Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, And Landslides (FEMA EM-3624, severe storm) was declared on February 16, 2025, and FEMA lists Letcher County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of February 14, 2025 to March 7, 2025. 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 and a refrigerated trailer rental can sit alongside it. Facilities near Pippa Passes face the same weather.
