What public records show for food service in Chico
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Butte County
FEMA has made 11 major disaster declarations for Butte 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 Chico. 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 Chico
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Butte DR 4769 French Creek Road" (roads and bridges, about $206,000) in Butte County after DR-4769, a severe storm declared April 13, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs to roads, water systems, and utilities like this can cut service to kitchens nearby or change truck access, so we check the route before delivery. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in Butte County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Loss of building structures (Feather Falls Elementary School)" (buildings and equipment, about $2.4 million) in Butte County after DR-4558, a wildfire declared August 22, 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 Chico can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Chico
California is in FEMA Region 9, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Butte County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. 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 Chico would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Paradise and Butte County. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Chico
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Chico'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-4769 (severe winter storms, tornadoes, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, declared April 13, 2024): a hospital kitchen in Chico loses power for several days, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-5 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
