What public records show for food service in Shelby County
Past emergency
Shelby County and DR-4632
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4632, severe storms and flooding, on December 21, 2021 for Shelby County, for an incident that began October 6, 2021. It is one of 8 major disaster declarations covering Shelby County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. For a school, care home, or shelter in Shelby County, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Shelby County
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Shelby County since 2016. When construction near a hospital, school, or care home in Shelby County cuts utilities or closes a kitchen in phases, a facility could lease a mobile kitchen trailer and a dishwashing trailer for the length of the work.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in Shelby County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Building and Content Damages - Amphitheater" (buildings and equipment, about $182,000) in Shelby County after DR-4596, a severe storm declared April 26, 2021; 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 Shelby County until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Shelby County
Alabama is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Shelby 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 Shelby County would travel I-65 and local routes, as it would for nearby Chelsea and Columbiana. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a senior nutrition program's production kitchen in Shelby County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Shelby County'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 3-month project at a senior nutrition program's production kitchen in Shelby County, gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it, would leave the building without a usable kitchen from the first day of demolition.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
Lock in dates when the renovation contract is signed. The trailers arrive just before demolition and stay 3 months, through final inspection of the new kitchen.5. Estimated rental cost
40ft Bulk Kitchen $10,995 + 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer $6,995 + 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $3,995 = $21,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $65,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
