What public records show for food service in East Palo Alto
Past emergency
East Palo Alto and DR-4699
The most recent federal disaster on record for San Mateo County, which includes East Palo Alto is DR-4699, severe winter storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, declared April 3, 2023. San Mateo County has had 8 major disaster declarations 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 East Palo Alto, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
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. 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 East Palo Alto until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to East Palo Alto
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 East Palo Alto would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Menlo Park and Atherton. 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 East Palo Alto
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using East Palo Alto'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
Suppose an assisted living community's kitchen in East Palo Alto schedules a 2-month renovation, upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft 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-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
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 2-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.5. Estimated rental cost
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $31,970 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
