What public records show for food service in Alexandria
Past emergency
Alexandria and DR-4611
FEMA has made 16 major disaster declarations for Rapides Parish since 2000; the latest, DR-4611, hurricane ida, was declared on August 29, 2021 after an incident that began August 26, 2021, and it covered Alexandria. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. For a school, care home, or shelter in Alexandria, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Rapides Parish
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Utilities lines and poles repair including three transformers" (utilities, about $317,000) in Rapides Parish after DR-4590, a severe storm declared March 9, 2021; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Alexandria, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Rapides Parish
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "District #1 Building Repairs" (buildings and equipment, about $176,000) in Rapides Parish after DR-4570, a hurricane declared October 16, 2020; 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 Alexandria serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Alexandria
Louisiana is in FEMA Region 6, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Rapides Parish emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Louisiana are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Alexandria would travel I-10 and local routes, as it would for nearby Pineville and Rapides Parish. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Alexandria
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Alexandria'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
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4611 (hurricane ida, declared August 29, 2021): a hospital kitchen in Alexandria loses power and takes on water, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-10 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
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.
