What public records show for food service in Fort Lauderdale
Past emergency
Hurricane Milton (2024)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4834, hurricane milton, on October 11, 2024 for Broward County, which includes Fort Lauderdale, for an incident that began October 5, 2024. It is one of 15 major disaster declarations covering Broward County since 2000. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Public works repair in Broward County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Storm Water Pipes - Citywide" (water control facilities, about $14.6 million) in Broward County after DR-4709, a severe storm declared April 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 crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in Broward County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Alton Westshore Apts" (buildings and equipment, about $410,000) in Broward County after DR-4844, a hurricane declared November 5, 2024; 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 Fort Lauderdale until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Fort Lauderdale
Florida is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Broward 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 Fort Lauderdale would travel I-95 and local routes, as it would for nearby Lazy Lake and Wilton Manors. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Fort Lauderdale
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Fort Lauderdale'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 hospital kitchen in Fort Lauderdale loses power and takes on water in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4834 (hurricane milton, declared October 11, 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-95 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Day 1: call the 24/7 line and send photos of the placement area. Next: delivery and setup once placement is confirmed. Then: cooking from the trailer while the kitchen is repaired, extended by the week if repairs run long.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.
