What public records show for food service in Franklin County
Past emergency
Franklin County and DR-4864
FEMA has made 15 major disaster declarations for Franklin County since 2000; the latest, DR-4864, severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, was declared on April 24, 2025 after an incident that began April 2, 2025, and it covered Franklin County. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. For a school, care home, or shelter in Franklin County, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Franklin County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Dale Hollow Park electrical utilities damage" (utilities, about $204,000) in Franklin County after DR-4913, a winter storm declared May 29, 2026; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Franklin County, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Franklin County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Administrative Office of the Courts File's Restoration" (buildings and equipment, about $6.1 million) in Franklin County after DR-4864, a severe storm declared April 24, 2025; 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 Franklin County until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Franklin County
Kentucky 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. Kentucky borders Virginia, our lead market, so projects here are planned much like our Virginia work. Equipment for Franklin County would travel I-64 and local routes, as it would for nearby Frankfort and Stamping Ground. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: the county school division's central kitchen in Franklin County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Franklin County'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 the county school division's central kitchen in Franklin County loses power for several days in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4864 (severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, declared April 24, 2025). 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), 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-64 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.
