What public records show for food service in Helena
Past emergency
Helena and DR-4405
FEMA has made 4 major disaster declarations for Lewis and Clark County since 2000; the latest, DR-4405, flooding, was declared on October 31, 2018 after an incident that began May 1, 2018, and it covered Helena. 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 Helena stays closed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Helena
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Lewis and Clark County since 2016. When construction near a hospital, school, or care home in Helena cuts utilities or closes a kitchen in phases, a facility could lease a mobile kitchen trailer and a dishwashing trailer for the length of the work.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Helena
A kitchen renovation in Helena 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 Helena
Montana is in FEMA Region 8, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Lewis and Clark County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Montana are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Helena would travel I-90 and local routes, as it would for nearby East Helena and Boulder. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Helena
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Helena'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
An assisted living community's kitchen in Helena plans 3 months of work regrading the floor drains and replacing the dish room. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-90 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.4. Timeline
Lock in dates when the renovation contract is signed. The trailers arrive just before demolition and stay 3 months, through final inspection of the new kitchen.5. Estimated rental cost
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $47,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
