What public records show for food service in Cambridge
Past emergency
FEMA's 2018 declaration for Middlesex County
FEMA has made 12 major disaster declarations for Middlesex County since 2000; the latest, DR-4379, severe winter storm and snowstorm, was declared on July 19, 2018 after an incident that began March 13, 2018, and it covered Cambridge. Heavy snow closes roads and can collapse roofs or cut power to institutional kitchens. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Cambridge stays closed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Cambridge
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Everett culvert - 34 Market St." (roads and bridges, about $469,000) in Middlesex County after DR-4379, a winter storm declared July 19, 2018; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Cambridge, 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
Kitchen renovations in Cambridge
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Cambridge can schedule a temporary commercial kitchen for the work, sized to its menu, meal counts, and the electrical service on site, instead of closing its kitchen.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Cambridge
Massachusetts is in FEMA Region 1, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Middlesex County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Massachusetts is on the East Coast within reach of our Virginia operations, and projects here are quoted case by case. Equipment for Cambridge would travel I-90 and local routes, as it would for nearby Somerville and Watertown. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Cambridge
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Cambridge'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
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4379 (severe winter storm and snowstorm, declared July 19, 2018): a hospital kitchen in Cambridge loses power and road access under heavy snow, and the people it feeds still need their meals.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-90 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
Day 1: call the 24/7 line and send photos of the placement area. Next: delivery and setup once placement is confirmed. Then: cooking from the trailer while the kitchen is repaired, extended by the week if repairs run long.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.
