What public records show for food service in Dexter
Past emergency
FEMA's 2026 declaration for Washtenaw County
FEMA has made 4 major disaster declarations for Washtenaw County since 2000; the latest, DR-4925, severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, was declared on June 30, 2026 after an incident that began April 10, 2026, and it covered Dexter. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. For a school, care home, or shelter in Dexter, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Dexter
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Washtenaw County since 2016. A facility in Dexter planning an addition or a utility upgrade can book a temporary kitchen for the phases when its own is shut.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Dexter
A kitchen renovation in Dexter usually means new hoods, walk-ins, or floors, and weeks without cooking. A temporary kitchen trailer, booked early, covers that gap.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Dexter
Michigan is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Washtenaw County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Michigan are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Dexter would travel I-75 and local routes, as it would for nearby Washtenaw County and Barton Hills. 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 Dexter
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Dexter'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 Dexter floods at ground level in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4925 (severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, declared June 30, 2026). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (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-75 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
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 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.
