What public records show for food service in Portsmouth
Past emergency
Portsmouth and DR-4799
FEMA has made 16 major disaster declarations for Rockingham County since 2000; the latest, DR-4799, severe winter storm and flooding, was declared on July 10, 2024 after an incident that began April 3, 2024, and it covered Portsmouth. Winter storms cut power and close roads, and frozen pipes can flood a kitchen. For a school, care home, or shelter in Portsmouth, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Portsmouth
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "New Castle Road Surface Repair" (roads and bridges, about $590,000) in Rockingham County after DR-4771, a severe storm declared April 19, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Portsmouth, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A facility in Portsmouth that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Portsmouth
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth
New Hampshire is in FEMA Region 1, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Rockingham County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. New Hampshire is on the East Coast within reach of our Virginia operations, and projects here are quoted case by case. Equipment for Portsmouth would travel I-93 and local routes, as it would for nearby Dover and Somersworth. 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 Portsmouth
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Portsmouth'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 2-month project at a public high school cafeteria in Portsmouth, replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line, would leave the building without a usable kitchen from the first day of demolition.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Container (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-93 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
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 2 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.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 $31,970 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
