What public records show for food service in Indio
Past emergency
Tropical Storm Hilary (2023)
FEMA has made 12 major disaster declarations for Riverside County since 2000; the latest, DR-4750, tropical storm hilary, was declared on November 21, 2023 after an incident that began August 19, 2023, and it covered Indio. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. For a school, care home, or shelter in Indio, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Indio
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Cathedral City Elementary School - Primary and Secondary Detention Basin" (water control facilities, about $3.4 million) in Riverside County after DR-4750, a hurricane declared November 21, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Indio, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Indio that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Riverside County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Quad Building Repairs" (buildings and equipment, about $434,000) in Riverside County after DR-4750, a hurricane declared November 21, 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 Indio until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Indio
California is in FEMA Region 9, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Riverside 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 Indio would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Indian Wells and Coachella. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Indio
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Indio'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
A public high school cafeteria in Indio plans 3 months of work gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 3 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.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, or about $65,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
