What public records show for food service in Colma
Past emergency
FEMA's 2023 declaration for San Mateo County
FEMA has made 8 major disaster declarations for San Mateo County since 2000; the latest, DR-4699, severe winter storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, was declared on April 3, 2023 after an incident that began February 21, 2023, and it covered Colma. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Colma stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in San Mateo County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Daly City Reservoir 6B Roof Damage" (water control facilities, about $2.7 million) in San Mateo County after DR-4699, a severe storm declared April 3, 2023; 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. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in San Mateo County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Montara Building Contents" (buildings and equipment, about $384,000) in San Mateo County after DR-4683, a severe storm declared January 14, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Rebuilding takes months, and meals cannot wait that long. A kitchen trailer and a dish trailer let a facility in Colma serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Colma
California is in FEMA Region 9, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, San Mateo 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 Colma would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Daly City and San Bruno. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: an elementary school cafeteria in Colma
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Colma'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-4699 (severe winter storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, declared April 3, 2023): an elementary school cafeteria in Colma 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), 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 trailer takes about 5 hours to connect and start up.4. Timeline
Within the first day, the facility shares its meal counts and site photos. Equipment ships once placement is confirmed, and the weekly rental continues until the building kitchen reopens.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.
