Hurricane Delta (FEMA EM-3548, hurricane) was declared on October 8, 2020, and FEMA lists Simpson County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of October 7, 2020 to October 11, 2020. 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. A dishwashing trailer rental and a refrigerated trailer rental can sit alongside it. Facilities near Puckett face the same weather.

Severe Storms, Tornadoes, Straight-Line Winds, And Flooding (FEMA DR-4551, severe storm) was declared on July 9, 2020, and FEMA lists Simpson County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of April 22, 2020 to April 23, 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.
