Federal disaster declarations that list Benton County
Severe Storm And Straight-Line Winds (FEMA DR-4471, severe storm) was declared on December 6, 2019, and FEMA lists Benton County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of October 26, 2019 to October 26, 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 Big Sandy face the same weather.
