What public records show for food service in Monterey County
Past emergency
Severe Winter Storms, Tornadoes, Flooding, Landslides, And Mudslides (2024)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4769, severe winter storms, tornadoes, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, on April 13, 2024 for Monterey County, for an incident that began January 31, 2024. It is one of 10 major disaster declarations covering Monterey County since 2000. 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
Public works repair in Monterey County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Pipeline Damages" (water control facilities, about $225,000) in Monterey County after DR-4769, a severe storm declared April 13, 2024; 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 Monterey County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Building Equipment damages - Sleepy Hollow Steelhead Rearing Facility" (buildings and equipment, about $171,000) in Monterey County after DR-4683, a severe storm declared January 14, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Rebuilding takes months, and meals cannot wait that long. A kitchen trailer and a dish trailer let a facility in Monterey County serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Monterey County
California is in FEMA Region 9, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Monterey 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 Monterey County would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Greenfield and King City. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a nursing and rehabilitation center in Monterey County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Monterey County'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 a nursing and rehabilitation center in Monterey County loses power for several days in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4769 (severe winter storms, tornadoes, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, declared April 13, 2024). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.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
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
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.
