What public records show for food service in Franklin
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for St. Mary Parish
FEMA has made 19 major disaster declarations for St. Mary Parish since 2000; the latest, DR-4817, hurricane francine, was declared on September 16, 2024 after an incident that began September 9, 2024, and it covered Franklin. 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 Franklin stays closed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Franklin
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Morgan City Electrical Substations" (utilities, about $1.6 million) in St. Mary Parish after DR-4817, a hurricane declared September 16, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Franklin, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Franklin that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in St. Mary Parish
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Cat E- Little Zion Fellowship- Church" (buildings and equipment, about $134,000) in St. Mary Parish after DR-4817, a hurricane declared September 16, 2024; 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 until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Franklin
Louisiana is in FEMA Region 6, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, St. Mary 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 Franklin would travel I-10 and local routes, as it would for nearby Baldwin and St. Mary Parish. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hotel and conference center kitchen in Franklin
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Franklin'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-4817 (hurricane francine, declared September 16, 2024): a hotel and conference center kitchen in Franklin loses power and takes on water, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (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-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
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 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.
