Federal disaster declarations that list Hinds County
Severe Storms, Flooding, And Mudslides (FEMA DR-4538, severe storm) was declared on April 23, 2020, and FEMA lists Hinds County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of February 10, 2020 to February 18, 2020. 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 Utica face the same weather.
