Hurricane Florence (FEMA DR-4401, hurricane) was declared on October 15, 2018, and FEMA lists Isle of Wight County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of September 8, 2018 to September 21, 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 Wakefield face the same weather.
