What public records show for food service in Mammoth Lakes
Past emergency
Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, And Mudslides (2023)
FEMA has made 5 major disaster declarations for Mono 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 Mammoth Lakes. 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 Mammoth Lakes, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Mammoth Lakes
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Compromised Sewer Mains" (utilities, about $967,000) in Mono County after DR-4699, a severe storm declared April 3, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Mammoth Lakes, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. 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 Mono County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Lee Vining Airport" (buildings and equipment, about $283,000) in Mono County after DR-4699, a severe storm declared April 3, 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 Mammoth Lakes until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Mammoth Lakes
California is in FEMA Region 9, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Mono 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 Mammoth Lakes would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Mono County and Bishop. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a restaurant kitchen on the main street in Mammoth Lakes
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Mammoth Lakes'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): a restaurant kitchen on the main street in Mammoth Lakes loses power for several days, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (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. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
Day 1: call the 24/7 line and send photos of the placement area. Next: delivery and setup once placement is confirmed. Then: cooking from the trailer while the kitchen is repaired, extended by the week if repairs run long.5. Estimated rental cost
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 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.
