According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Waffle House is one of the top four corporations for disaster response. Waffle House has an extensive disaster management plan with on-site and portable generators and pre-positioned food and ice ahead of severe weather events such as a hurricane . This helps mitigate the effects of a storm on the power grid and the supply chains. The ability of a Waffle House to remain open after a severe storm, possibly with a limited menu, is used by FEMA as a measure of disaster recovery known as the Waffle House Index <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_House_Index>

The new Pittsboro Waffle House is going in next to the KFC by Lowes Hardware – http://flic.kr/p/mjR2XA
