What public records show for food service in New Orleans
Past emergency
New Orleans and DR-4817
FEMA has made 19 major disaster declarations for Orleans 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 New Orleans. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. For a school, care home, or shelter in New Orleans, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around New Orleans
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "DR4611LA-NO S&W-East Bank WWTP Incinerator repair" (utilities, about $1.6 million) in Orleans Parish after DR-4611, a hurricane declared August 29, 2021; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs to roads, water systems, and utilities like this can cut service to kitchens nearby or change truck access, so we check the route before delivery. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Orleans Parish
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Ochsner Clinic Foudation-St. Mary Campus Building Repairs" (buildings and equipment, about $3.1 million) in Orleans Parish after DR-4817, a hurricane declared September 16, 2024; 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 New Orleans serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to New Orleans
Louisiana is in FEMA Region 6, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Orleans 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 New Orleans would travel I-10 and local routes, as it would for nearby Orleans Parish and Gretna. 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 New Orleans
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using New Orleans'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 a hotel and conference center kitchen in New Orleans loses power and takes on water in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4817 (hurricane francine, declared September 16, 2024). 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), 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. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.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.
