What public records show for food service in Gretna
Past emergency
Hurricane Francine (2024)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4817, hurricane francine, on September 16, 2024 for Jefferson Parish, which includes Gretna, for an incident that began September 9, 2024. It is one of 21 major disaster declarations covering Jefferson Parish since 2000. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Public works repair in Jefferson Parish
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Sewer Repairs" (utilities, about $136,000) in Jefferson Parish after DR-4817, a hurricane declared September 16, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Gretna, 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
After the damage: buildings in Jefferson Parish
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Food Loss District Wide" (buildings and equipment, about $208,000) in Jefferson 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 Gretna until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Gretna
Louisiana is in FEMA Region 6, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Jefferson 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 Gretna would travel I-10 and local routes, as it would for nearby Westwego and Harahan. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Gretna
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Gretna'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
Gretna's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4817 (hurricane francine, declared September 16, 2024). 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-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.
