Federal disaster declarations that list Nicholas County
Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, And Mudslides (FEMA DR-4236, severe storm) was declared on August 7, 2015, and FEMA lists Nicholas County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of July 10, 2015 to July 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. A dishwashing trailer rental and a refrigerated trailer rental can sit alongside it. Facilities near Summersville face the same weather.

Hurricane Sandy (FEMA DR-4093, hurricane) was declared on November 27, 2012, and FEMA lists Nicholas County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of October 29, 2012 to November 8, 2012. 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.
