Past emergencies and recovery needs in Enterprise

OpenFEMA lists 12 disaster declarations that include Washington County, going back to 1977. The most frequent incident types were wildfire (6 declarations) and flooding (3 declarations). If you plan across towns, check the page for Ivins as well; its own declaration history is listed there.

The most recent is Forsyth Fire (fire management assistance declaration, FM-5591), declared June 20, 2025, with the incident beginning June 19, 2025. Wildfire response brings long shifts for responders and rebuilding crews, and smoke or utility loss can take permanent kitchens out of service. The latest major disaster declaration is Severe Storm and Flooding (DR-4088), declared November 3, 2012. By incident type, the count is wildfire 6, flooding 3, coastal storm 1, severe storms 1 and drought 1. By decade: 1970s 1, 1980s 1, 2000s 5, 2010s 3 and 2020s 2. The records also list Veyo West Fire (FM-5321, July 13, 2020), Saddle Fire (FM-5130, June 21, 2016), Severe Winter Storm and Flooding (DR-1955, February 11, 2011), Mill Flat Fire (FM-2831, August 30, 2009) and Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (EM-3223, September 5, 2005).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 151 county-based severe-weather event records for Washington County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (121) and high-wind and thunderstorm events (30). The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flash flood in August 2020, with about $5.4 million in property damage. Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 5 large wildfires beginning in Washington County, about 34,353 acres in all. Forsyth (2025, 15,662 acres) was the largest. Smoke, evacuations and power shutoffs can close kitchens and spoil stock even when the flames never reach the building.

FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.

Construction projects and crew meals near Enterprise

Since October 2021, 23 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Washington County as the place of work. Another public record is “Lodge Parking Lot Asphalt Replacement for Zion National Park,” a $2 million Department of the Interior contract from August 2022 in Washington County (award record). In September 2021, the Department of the Interior awarded a $1.8 million contract for “Water System Improvement at Kolob Canyons Visitor Center, Zion National Park” in Washington County, with work running to September 2022 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $1.4 million Department of Agriculture contract, “Network End of Lifecycle Management,” starting October 2024 in Washington County (award record). The Department of the Interior committed $1.4 million to “Zion Museum-Shuttlestop Comfort Station” in Washington County, awarded September 2021 (award record). Work like this puts crews on a site for months, often far from a restaurant, and the meals become a logistics question before the first shift starts. A job in Santa Clara (about 8,631 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.

Rebuilds and remodels around Enterprise

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Washington County. The nearest is in Mohave County, about 108 miles away. USASpending.gov shows a $3.1 million Department of Health and Human Services contract, “PS Sprinkler System, HVAC, and Communication Cabling,” starting August 2023 in Mohave County (award record). Work inside an occupied facility tends to take its kitchen offline for weeks, so the plan for meals has to exist before the work starts. The closure date drives the plan in Toquerville too.

Emergency access and staging near Enterprise

Public emergency operations in Utah are coordinated by the Utah Division of Emergency Management (DEM), with county emergency managers handling local response. Staging areas and access routes for disaster response are published by those agencies and can change, so this page does not draw a route. For work in Washington, look to the agencies covering that area rather than assuming the same routes.

By CMS's hospital list, the closest to Enterprise is ST. George Regional Hospital, in St. George, about 35 miles from Enterprise in a straight line.
