Federal disaster declarations that list Marion County
Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Tornadoes, Flooding, Landslides, And Mudslides (FEMA DR-4702, severe storm) was declared on April 10, 2023, and FEMA lists Marion County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of March 3, 2023 to March 4, 2023. 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. Add a dishwashing trailer rental for the dish room, and a refrigerated trailer rental if the walk-in fails. Facilities near Springfield face the same weather.
