Federal disaster declarations that list Custer County
Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Tornadoes, And Flooding (FEMA DR-4438, severe storm) was declared on June 1, 2019, and FEMA lists Custer County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of May 7, 2019 to June 9, 2019. 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 Butler face the same weather.
