FEMA's 2023 declaration for Contra Costa County
FEMA has made 6 major disaster declarations for Contra Costa County since 2000; the latest, DR-4683, severe winter storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, was declared on January 14, 2023 after an incident that began December 27, 2022, and it covered Richmond. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. For a school, care home, or shelter in Richmond, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Richmond
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Levee Van Sickle Island" (water control facilities, about $3.8 million) in Contra Costa County after DR-4683, a severe storm declared January 14, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Richmond, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A facility in Richmond that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Contra Costa County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Justin Residential Hall" (buildings and equipment, about $241,000) in Contra Costa 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 Richmond until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Richmond
California is in FEMA Region 9, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Contra Costa 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 Richmond would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby San Pablo and El Cerrito. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Richmond
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Richmond'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
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4683 (severe winter storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, declared January 14, 2023): a hospital kitchen in Richmond floods at ground level, and the people it feeds still need their meals.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. 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
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.
