What public records show for food service in St. James Parish
Past emergency
St. James Parish and DR-4817
The most recent federal disaster on record for St. James Parish is DR-4817, hurricane francine, declared September 16, 2024. St. James Parish has had 17 major disaster declarations since 2000. 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 St. James Parish stays closed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near St. James Parish
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Oxidation Pond, Water Treatment Facility Water Tower, Water Tower, Water Treatment Plant Interior and Exterior, Oxidation Pond - Fencing" (water control facilities, about $161,000) in St. James Parish after DR-4611, a hurricane declared August 29, 2021; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches St. James Parish, 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
Rebuilding public buildings in St. James Parish
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "SJPHA Multi-Complex Buildings" (buildings and equipment, about $6.4 million) in St. James Parish after DR-4611, a hurricane declared August 29, 2021; 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 St. James Parish until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to St. James Parish
Louisiana is in FEMA Region 6, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, St. James 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 St. James Parish would travel I-10 and local routes, as it would for nearby Lutcher and Gramercy. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a senior nutrition program's production kitchen in St. James Parish
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using St. James 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
A 4-month project at a senior nutrition program's production kitchen in St. James Parish, rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer, would leave the building without a usable kitchen from the first day of demolition.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 4 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.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, or about $87,940 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
