What public records show for food service in Hancock
Past emergency
Hancock and DR-4381
The most recent federal disaster on record for Houghton County, which includes Hancock is DR-4381, severe storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, declared August 2, 2018. Houghton County has had 4 major disaster declarations since 2000. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Repair projects around Hancock
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Coles Creek Road [Stanton Township]" (roads and bridges, about $4.2 million) in Houghton County after DR-4381, a flood declared August 3, 2018; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Hancock, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in Houghton County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Insurance Deductible for Insured Facilities" (buildings and equipment, about $525,000) in Houghton County after DR-4381, a flood declared August 3, 2018; 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 Hancock until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Hancock
Michigan is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Houghton 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 Hancock would travel I-75 and local routes, as it would for nearby Houghton and South Range. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Hancock
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Hancock'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 public high school cafeteria in Hancock plans 2 months of work upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (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-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
Lock in dates when the renovation contract is signed. The trailers arrive just before demolition and stay 2 months, through final inspection of the new kitchen.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, or about $23,770 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
