Federal disaster declarations that list Jefferson County
Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, And Mudslides (FEMA DR-4378, severe storm) was declared on July 12, 2018, and FEMA lists Jefferson County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of May 28, 2018 to June 3, 2018. 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 Charles Town face the same weather.
