1. Past emergency

   Shishmaref and DR-4893

   FEMA declared major disaster DR-4893, severe storms, flooding, and remnants of typhoon halong, on October 22, 2025 for Nome Census Area, which includes Shishmaref, for an incident that began October 8, 2025. It is one of 9 major disaster declarations covering Nome Census Area since 2000. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Shishmaref stays closed.

2. Major construction

   Public works repair in Nome Census Area

   FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Nome Sea Wall" (water control facilities, about $2.1 million) in Nome Census Area after DR-4672, a severe storm declared September 23, 2022; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Shishmaref, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A facility in Shishmaref that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.

3. Major renovation

   Public building repairs near Shishmaref

   FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Swanberg Dredge" (buildings and equipment, about $111,000) in Nome Census Area after DR-4672, a severe storm declared September 23, 2022; 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 Shishmaref can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.

4. Emergency equipment access

Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Alaska are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote.
