The Waffle House restaurant chain, which has often been used as a proxy to judge the severity of natural disasters, just issued a code red, and that’s a big deal to its devoted fan base.
As you can see, the Georgia-based company, long known for keeping its doors open through hurricanes and tornadoes, has closed hundreds of restaurants in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Waffle House’s history of serving its communities amid crises led former FEMA boss Craig Fugate to create the “Waffle House Index”. When it’s 'green,' diners get the full menu, 'yellow' means limited, and 'red,' which we’re seeing a lot of now, means it’s closed completely.
“If you get there and the Waffle House is closed?” Fugate once said. “That’s really bad.”
