Federal disaster declarations that list Hancock County
Tropical Storm Arthur (FEMA DR-4930, tropical storm) was declared on August 3, 2026, and FEMA lists Hancock County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of June 18, 2026 to June 20, 2026. Tropical storms bring flooding and power loss within hours, and a commercial kitchen that goes dark could keep serving meals from a mobile commercial kitchen trailer rental, with its own range and ovens, until the building is back. A dishwashing trailer rental or a refrigerated trailer rental can be added when needed. Facilities near Wiggins face the same weather.
