Federal disaster declarations that list Lamar County
Hurricane Sally (FEMA EM-3544, hurricane) was declared on September 14, 2020, and FEMA lists Lamar County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of September 14, 2020 to September 17, 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. Add a dishwashing trailer rental for the dish room, and a refrigerated trailer rental if the walk-in fails. Facilities near Columbia face the same weather.
