What public records show for food service in San Carlos
Past emergency
San Carlos and DR-4699
The most recent federal disaster on record for San Mateo County, which includes San Carlos 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. For a school, care home, or shelter in San Carlos, 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. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around San Carlos, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in San Carlos that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in San Mateo County
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 San Carlos until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to San Carlos
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 San Carlos would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Belmont and Redwood City. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in San Carlos
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using San Carlos'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 public high school cafeteria in San Carlos schedules a 2-month renovation, gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft 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
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 2-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.5. Estimated rental cost
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $31,970 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
