What public records show for food service in Lodi
Past emergency
FEMA's 2023 declaration for San Joaquin County
FEMA has made 7 major disaster declarations for San Joaquin 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 Lodi. 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
Repair projects around Lodi
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Standard Work - Cat D - Levee Erosion - Severe Storms/Flooding - Reclamation District #0548 - Terminus Tract" (water control facilities, about $713,000) in San Joaquin County after DR-4683, a severe storm declared January 14, 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
After the damage: buildings in San Joaquin County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Vehicle Damage - Fire Truck Ladder" (buildings and equipment, about $980,000) in San Joaquin County after DR-4683, a severe storm declared January 14, 2023; 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 Lodi can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Lodi
California is in FEMA Region 9, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, San Joaquin 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 Lodi would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Stockton and Galt. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Lodi
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Lodi'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
Lodi's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4699 (severe winter storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, declared April 3, 2023). If a repeat left a hospital kitchen there unable to cook, the facility would need a working kitchen outside the building within days.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. 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
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
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.
