What public records show for food service in San Marcos
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for San Diego County
FEMA has made 12 major disaster declarations for San Diego County since 2000; the latest, DR-4758, severe storm and flooding, was declared on February 19, 2024 after an incident that began January 21, 2024, and it covered San Marcos. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. For a school, care home, or shelter in San Marcos, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around San Marcos
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Territory Wide-Access Roads" (roads and bridges, about $1.5 million) in San Diego County after DR-4743, a other declared September 27, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs to roads, water systems, and utilities like this can cut service to kitchens nearby or change truck access, so we check the route before delivery. A facility in San Marcos that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near San Marcos
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Education Center" (buildings and equipment, about $272,000) in San Diego 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 San Marcos can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to San Marcos
California is in FEMA Region 9, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, San Diego 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 Marcos would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Escondido and Vista. 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 San Marcos
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using San Marcos'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 hotel and conference center kitchen in San Marcos floods at ground level in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4758 (severe storm and flooding, declared February 19, 2024). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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
Within the first day, the facility shares its meal counts and site photos. Equipment ships once placement is confirmed, and the weekly rental continues until the building kitchen reopens.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.
