Local conditions
What public records show for food service in Dauphin Island
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, And Tornadoes (2023)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4684, severe storms, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, on January 15, 2023 for Mobile County, which includes Dauphin Island, for an incident that began January 12, 2023. It is one of 17 major disaster declarations covering Mobile County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Dauphin Island
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Damage Signs and Bridge Approaches" (roads and bridges, about $192,000) in Mobile County after DR-4573, a hurricane declared December 10, 2020; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Dauphin Island, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Dauphin Island
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "UB of Citronelle - Buildings including structural components" (buildings and equipment, about $300,000) in Mobile County after DR-4573, a hurricane declared December 10, 2020; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs like this often include the building's kitchen or the power that feeds it. A school or senior center in Dauphin Island can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a restaurant kitchen on the main street in Dauphin Island
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Dauphin Island'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
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4684 (severe storms, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, declared January 15, 2023): a restaurant kitchen on the main street in Dauphin Island loses power for several days, and the people it feeds still need their meals.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
Day 1: call the 24/7 line and send photos of the placement area. Next: delivery and setup once placement is confirmed. Then: cooking from the trailer while the kitchen is repaired, extended by the week if repairs run long.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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
