What public records show for food service in Tampa
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Hillsborough County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4834, hurricane milton, on October 11, 2024 for Hillsborough County, which includes Tampa, for an incident that began October 5, 2024. It is one of 14 major disaster declarations covering Hillsborough County since 2000. 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 Tampa stays closed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Tampa
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Pond Outfall Structures" (water control facilities, about $390,000) in Hillsborough County after DR-4834, a hurricane declared October 11, 2024; 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. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Tampa
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Expo Hall" (buildings and equipment, about $988,000) in Hillsborough County after DR-4834, a hurricane declared October 11, 2024; 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 Tampa serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Tampa
Florida is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Hillsborough 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 Tampa would travel I-95 and local routes, as it would for nearby Hillsborough County and Temple Terrace. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Tampa
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Tampa'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
Tampa's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4834 (hurricane milton, declared October 11, 2024). If a repeat left a hospital kitchen there unable to cook, the facility would need a working kitchen outside the building within days.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. 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
First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.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.
