Federal disaster declarations that list Johnston County
Severe Storms, Tornadoes, Straight-Line Winds, And Flooding (FEMA DR-4324, tornado) was declared on July 25, 2017, and FEMA lists Johnston County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of May 16, 2017 to May 20, 2017. Tornado damage can close a building and its commercial kitchen for months, and a facility could cover meals, prep, and cooking from a modular mobile commercial kitchen trailer rental while it rebuilds. Add a dishwashing trailer rental for the dish room, and a refrigerated trailer rental if the walk-in fails. Facilities near Dougherty face the same weather.
