What public records show for food service in Menlo Park
Past emergency
Menlo Park and DR-4699
The most recent federal disaster on record for San Mateo County, which includes Menlo Park 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. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Menlo Park stays closed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Menlo Park
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. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
After the damage: 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 Menlo Park until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Menlo Park
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 Menlo Park would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby East Palo Alto and Atherton. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hotel and conference center kitchen in Menlo Park
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Menlo Park'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
Menlo Park'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 hotel and conference center kitchen there unable to cook, the facility would need a working kitchen outside the building within days.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.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
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
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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
