FEMA's 2021 declaration for Lafayette Parish
FEMA has made 18 major disaster declarations for Lafayette 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 Lafayette Parish.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: the county school division's central kitchen in Lafayette Parish
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Lafayette Parish'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
Suppose the county school division's central kitchen in Lafayette Parish loses power and takes on water in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4611 (hurricane ida, declared August 29, 2021). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.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.
