Federal disaster declarations that list Somerset County
Hurricane Sandy (FEMA DR-4091, hurricane) was declared on November 20, 2012, and FEMA lists Somerset County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of October 26, 2012 to November 4, 2012. 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 Snow Hill face the same weather.
