Federal disaster declarations that list Duplin County
Tropical Storm Eta (FEMA DR-4588, severe storm) was declared on March 3, 2021, and FEMA lists Duplin County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of November 12, 2020 to November 15, 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. A dishwashing trailer rental or a refrigerated trailer rental can be added when needed. Facilities near Rose Hill face the same weather.

Hurricane Isaias (FEMA EM-3534, hurricane) was declared on August 2, 2020, and FEMA lists Duplin County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of July 31, 2020 to August 4, 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.
