Federal disaster declarations that list Lauderdale County
Hurricane Isaac (FEMA DR-4081, hurricane) was declared on August 29, 2012, and FEMA lists Lauderdale County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of August 26, 2012 to September 11, 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 Hickory face the same weather.
