Federal disaster declarations that list Wood County
Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, And Mudslides (FEMA DR-4787, flood) was declared on May 24, 2024, and FEMA lists Wood County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of April 11, 2024 to April 12, 2024. Floodwater can take a commercial kitchen out of service in an hour, and a facility could cook meals onsite from a portable mobile commercial kitchen trailer rental placed on dry ground during cleanup. A dishwashing trailer rental and a refrigerated trailer rental can sit alongside it. Facilities near Cairo face the same weather.

Severe Storms And Straight-Line Winds (FEMA DR-4071, severe storm) was declared on July 23, 2012, and FEMA lists Wood County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of June 29, 2012 to July 8, 2012. 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.
