What public records show for food service in Cottonwood
Past emergency
Hurricane Sally (2020)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4563, hurricane sally, on September 20, 2020 for Houston County, which includes Cottonwood, for an incident that began September 14, 2020. It is one of 11 major disaster declarations covering Houston County since 2000. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Public works repair in Houston County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "HCC-Road and Culvert Damages" (roads and bridges, about $1.1 million) in Houston County after DR-4563, a hurricane declared September 20, 2020; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Cottonwood, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Cottonwood that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in Houston County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Northview High School" (buildings and equipment, about $354,000) in Houston County after DR-4406, a hurricane declared November 5, 2018; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When a public building is repaired after a disaster, its kitchen can be out of service for months. A temporary kitchen on site covers meal service at a school, shelter, or government building in Cottonwood until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Cottonwood
Alabama is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Houston County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Alabama is on the East Coast within reach of our Virginia operations, and projects here are quoted case by case. Equipment for Cottonwood would travel I-65 and local routes, as it would for nearby Madrid and Houston County. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a nursing home kitchen in Cottonwood
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Cottonwood's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
A nursing home kitchen in Cottonwood plans 4 months of work rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), parked near the loading dock, where staff can move food between the trailers and the serving line.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-65 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen trailer once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Lock in dates when the renovation contract is signed. The trailers arrive just before demolition and stay 4 months, through final inspection of the new kitchen.5. Estimated rental cost
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $27,560 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
