What public records show for food service in Wilmington
Past emergency
Wilmington and DR-4627
The most recent federal disaster on record for New Castle County, which includes Wilmington is DR-4627, remnants of hurricane ida, declared October 24, 2021. New Castle County has had 8 major disaster declarations since 2000. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. For a school, care home, or shelter in Wilmington, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Wilmington
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for New Castle County since 2016. Building work can still close a kitchen in Wilmington for weeks, and a leased kitchen trailer keeps the facility's own staff cooking on site.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Wilmington
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Hagley Foundation Building and Equipment - Visitor Center" (buildings and equipment, about $570,000) in New Castle County after DR-4627, a hurricane declared October 24, 2021; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Rebuilding takes months, and meals cannot wait that long. A kitchen trailer and a dish trailer let a facility in Wilmington serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Wilmington
Delaware is in FEMA Region 3, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, New Castle County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Delaware is on the East Coast within reach of our Virginia operations, and projects here are quoted case by case. Equipment for Wilmington would travel I-95 and local routes, as it would for nearby Bellefonte and Elsmere. 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 Wilmington
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Wilmington'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 public high school cafeteria in Wilmington plans 4 months of work gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft 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-95 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
Lock in dates when the renovation contract is signed. The trailers arrive just before demolition and stay 4 months, through final inspection of the new kitchen.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, or about $87,940 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
