What public records show for food service in Knox County
Past emergency
Knox County and DR-4764
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4764, severe storms and flooding, on March 20, 2024 for Knox County, for an incident that began January 9, 2024. It is one of 14 major disaster declarations covering Knox County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. For a school, care home, or shelter in Knox County, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Knox County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Drift Inn Culvert" (roads and bridges, about $285,000) in Knox County after DR-4764, a severe storm declared March 20, 2024; 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. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Knox County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "DR-4764-Camden-(National Historic Landmark Bldg.) Library-Roof/flashings & Ceiling damages" (buildings and equipment, about $159,000) in Knox County after DR-4764, a severe storm declared March 20, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs like this often include the building's kitchen or the power that feeds it. A school or senior center in Knox County can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a regional jail kitchen in Knox County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Knox County'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 regional jail kitchen in Knox County schedules a 3-month renovation, regrading the floor drains and replacing the dish room, while it keeps serving meals.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-95 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
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 3 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 $65,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
