What public records show for food service in Richmond
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, And Mudslides (2026)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4937, severe storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, on September 1, 2026 for Madison County, which includes Richmond, for an incident that began June 26, 2026. It is one of 14 major disaster declarations covering Madison County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Richmond
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Madison County Roads - Wheeler Branch and Hagen Mill Road" (roads and bridges, about $260,000) in Madison County after DR-4428, a severe storm declared April 17, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Richmond, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Richmond
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Richmond does not have to stop meal service: a kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can run beside the building for the length of the job.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Richmond
Kentucky is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Madison 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 Richmond would travel I-64 and local routes, as it would for nearby Madison County and Berea. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Richmond
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Richmond'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
Richmond's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4937 (severe storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, declared September 1, 2026). 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-64 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
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.
