Federal disaster declarations that list Houston County
Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, And Tornado (FEMA DR-4712, severe storm) was declared on May 17, 2023, and FEMA lists Houston County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of March 1, 2023 to March 3, 2023. 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 and a refrigerated trailer rental can sit alongside it. Facilities near Dover face the same weather.
