Federal disaster declarations that list Tazewell County
Flooding And Mudslides (FEMA DR-4674, severe storm) was declared on September 30, 2022, and FEMA lists Tazewell County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of July 13, 2022 to July 14, 2022. 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 Tazewell face the same weather.

A dishwashing trailer rental or a refrigerated trailer rental can be added when needed.
