What public records show for food service in Shelby County
Past emergency
Shelby County and DR-4702
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4702, severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, on April 10, 2023 for Shelby County, for an incident that began March 3, 2023. It is one of 11 major disaster declarations covering Shelby County since 2000. 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 Shelby County, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Shelby County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Shelby Co. - Multiple Areas_" (utilities, about $131,000) in Shelby County after DR-4702, a severe storm declared April 10, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Shelby County, 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 Shelby County
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Shelby County can schedule a temporary commercial kitchen for the work, sized to its menu, meal counts, and the electrical service on site, instead of closing its kitchen.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Shelby County
Kentucky is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Shelby 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 Shelby County would travel I-64 and local routes, as it would for nearby Shelbyville and Simpsonville. 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 Shelby County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Shelby 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
Shelby County's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4702 (severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, declared April 10, 2023). If a repeat left the county school division's central 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. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.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.
