Federal disaster declarations that list Newton County
Severe Storm, Straight-Line Winds, And Flooding (FEMA DR-4470, severe storm) was declared on December 6, 2019, and FEMA lists Newton County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of October 26, 2019 to October 26, 2019. 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 or a refrigerated trailer rental can be added when needed. Facilities near Decatur face the same weather.
