Past emergency
FEMA's 2023 declaration for Plumas County
FEMA has made 7 major disaster declarations for Plumas 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 Portola. 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 stays closed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Portola
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Plumas County Culverts" (roads and bridges, about $262,000) in Plumas 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, 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
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Water Treatment Plant" (buildings and equipment, about $4.4 million) in Plumas County after DR-4610, a wildfire declared August 24, 2021; 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 can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Portola
California is in FEMA Region 9, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Plumas 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 Portola would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Loyalton and Sierra County. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Portola
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Portola'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
A 4-month project at an assisted living community's kitchen in Portola, gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it, would leave the building without a usable kitchen from the first day of demolition.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft 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. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen trailer once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 4-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.5. Estimated rental cost
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $27,560 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
