What public records show for food service in Houston
Past emergency
Houston and DR-4797
The most recent federal disaster on record for Houston County, which includes Houston is DR-4797, severe storms and flooding, declared June 28, 2024. Houston County has had 11 major disaster declarations since 2000. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Houston stays closed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Houston
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Grinder Pumps" (utilities, about $134,000) in Houston County after DR-4722, a flood declared July 19, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Houston, 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 Houston
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Houston 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 Houston
Minnesota is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Houston County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Minnesota are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Houston would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby Houston County and Caledonia. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs
Kitchen trailer rental costs in Houston

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hotel and conference center kitchen in Houston
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Houston'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
Houston's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4797 (severe storms and flooding, declared June 28, 2024). If a repeat left a hotel and conference center kitchen there unable to cook, the facility would need a working kitchen outside the building within days.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft 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-94 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, 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
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 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.
