What public records show for food service in Capitola
Past emergency
Capitola and DR-4769
FEMA has made 11 major disaster declarations for Santa Cruz County since 2000; the latest, DR-4769, severe winter storms, tornadoes, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, was declared on April 13, 2024 after an incident that began January 31, 2024, and it covered Capitola. 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 Capitola, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Capitola
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Santa Cruz County DPW - Mountain Charlie Rd 1.63 Road Damage" (roads and bridges, about $2.9 million) in Santa Cruz County after DR-4769, a severe storm declared April 13, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Capitola, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Capitola that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Santa Cruz County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "PAJARO MIDDLE SCHOOL_CONTENTS" (buildings and equipment, about $254,000) in Santa Cruz County after DR-4699, a severe storm declared April 3, 2023; 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 Capitola until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Capitola
California is in FEMA Region 9, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Santa Cruz County emergency management leads response.

Projects in California are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Capitola would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Santa Cruz County and Santa Cruz. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Capitola
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Capitola'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
An assisted living community's kitchen in Capitola plans 2 months of work regrading the floor drains and replacing the dish room. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-5 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.4. Timeline
Lock in dates when the renovation contract is signed. The trailers arrive just before demolition and stay 2 months, through final inspection of the new kitchen.5. Estimated rental cost
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 per month on our starting price list, or about $23,770 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
