What public records show for food service in Redwood City
Past emergency
Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, And Mudslides (2023)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4699, severe winter storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, on April 3, 2023 for San Mateo County, which includes Redwood City, for an incident that began February 21, 2023. It is one of 8 major disaster declarations covering San Mateo County since 2000. 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 Redwood City, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in San Mateo County
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. When work like this reaches Redwood City, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Redwood City
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 Redwood City until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Redwood City
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 Redwood City would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby San Carlos and Foster City. 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 Redwood City
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Redwood City'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
Redwood City'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 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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 and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.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.
