What public records show for food service in Apalachicola
Past emergency
Apalachicola and DR-4955
FEMA has made 21 major disaster declarations for Franklin County since 2000; the latest, DR-4955, hurricane isaias, was declared on October 27, 2026 after an incident that began October 6, 2026, and it covered Apalachicola. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Apalachicola stays closed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Apalachicola
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Alligator Point Road Damage; Combined Michael & Hermine" (roads and bridges, about $5.6 million) in Franklin County after DR-4399, a hurricane declared October 11, 2018; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Apalachicola, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Franklin County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "WEEMS Hosp Bldg" (buildings and equipment, about $150,000) in Franklin County after DR-4399, a hurricane declared October 11, 2018; 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 Apalachicola serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Apalachicola
Florida is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Franklin County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Florida is on the East Coast within reach of our Virginia operations, and projects here are quoted case by case. Equipment for Apalachicola would travel I-95 and local routes, as it would for nearby Franklin County and Gulf County. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Apalachicola
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Apalachicola'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 4-month project at an assisted living community's kitchen in Apalachicola, gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it, would leave the building without a usable kitchen from the first day of demolition.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (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-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 trailer takes 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
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $27,560 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
