What public records show for food service in Portola Valley
Past emergency
FEMA's 2023 declaration for San Mateo County
The most recent federal disaster on record for San Mateo County, which includes Portola Valley 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 Portola Valley stays closed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Portola Valley
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. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Portola Valley, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Portola Valley
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. Repairs like this often include the building's kitchen or the power that feeds it. A school or senior center in Portola Valley can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a nursing home kitchen in Portola Valley
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Portola Valley'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 home kitchen in Portola Valley schedules a 4-month renovation, upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (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. 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
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 4 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.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, or about $47,540 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
