Federal disaster declarations that list Jackson County
Severe Winter Storm, Flooding, Landslides, And Mudslides (FEMA DR-4210, severe storm) was declared on March 31, 2015, and FEMA lists Jackson County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of March 3, 2015 to March 14, 2015. 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 Mason face the same weather.

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.
