Federal disaster declarations that list Kanawha County
Severe Storms And Flooding (FEMA DR-4953, severe storm) was declared on October 7, 2026, and FEMA lists Kanawha County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of August 14, 2026 to August 18, 2026. 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. A dishwashing trailer rental and a refrigerated trailer rental can sit alongside it. Facilities near Cedar Grove face the same weather.
