Federal disaster declarations that list Freestone County
Hurricane Beryl (FEMA DR-4798, hurricane) was declared on July 9, 2024, and FEMA lists Freestone County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of July 5, 2024 to July 9, 2024. 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. Facilities near Fairfield face the same weather.
