Federal disaster declarations that list Scott County
Tropical Storm Helene (FEMA DR-4831, tropical storm) was declared on October 1, 2024, and FEMA lists Scott County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of September 25, 2024 to October 3, 2024. Tropical storms bring flooding and power loss within hours, and a commercial kitchen that goes dark could keep serving meals from a mobile commercial kitchen trailer rental, with its own range and ovens, until the building is back. Add a dishwashing trailer rental for the dish room, and a refrigerated trailer rental if the walk-in fails. Facilities near Big Stone Gap face the same weather.
