Federal disaster declarations that list Wayne County
Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Tornadoes, Flooding, Landslides, And Mudslides (FEMA DR-4783, severe storm) was declared on May 22, 2024, and FEMA lists Wayne County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of April 2, 2024 to April 6, 2024. 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 Kenova face the same weather.
