Federal disaster declarations that list Grayson County
Tropical Storm Michael (FEMA DR-4411, hurricane) was declared on December 18, 2018, and FEMA lists Grayson County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of October 9, 2018 to October 16, 2018. 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 Rural Retreat face the same weather.
