Federal disaster declarations that list St. Mary's County
Severe Storms And Straight-Line Winds (FEMA DR-4075, severe storm) was declared on August 2, 2012, and FEMA lists St. Mary's County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of June 29, 2012 to July 8, 2012. 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 Chesapeake Beach face the same weather.
