What public records show for food service in Houma
Past emergency
Houma and DR-4927
FEMA has made 21 major disaster declarations for Terrebonne Parish since 2000; the latest, DR-4927, tropical storm arthur, was declared on June 30, 2026 after an incident that began June 17, 2026, and it covered Houma. Declared disasters like this can interrupt power, water, and road access to commercial kitchens. For a school, care home, or shelter in Houma, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Houma
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Terrebonne Parish Levee System" (water control facilities, about $12.2 million) in Terrebonne Parish after DR-4817, a hurricane declared September 16, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Houma, 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
Public building repairs near Houma
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "ED White High School" (buildings and equipment, about $242,000) in Terrebonne 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 Houma until the work is done.

Equipment for Houma would travel I-10 and local routes, as it would for nearby Lockport and Thibodaux. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Houma
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Houma'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
An assisted living community's kitchen in Houma plans 2 months of work upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft 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
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 2 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.5. Estimated rental cost
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $31,970 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
