What public records show for food service in Santa Fe
Past emergency
Santa Fe and DR-4199
FEMA has made 4 major disaster declarations for Santa Fe County since 2000; the latest, DR-4199, severe storms and flooding, was declared on October 29, 2014 after an incident that began September 15, 2014, and it covered Santa Fe. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. 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 Santa Fe
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "NM State HWY Asphalt and Binder Damages" (roads and bridges, about $1.6 million) in Santa Fe County after DR-4652, a wildfire declared May 4, 2022; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Santa Fe, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A facility in Santa Fe that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in Santa Fe County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "DR 4795 NM EPM DHSEM CCTV- Communications" (buildings and equipment, about $134,000) in Santa Fe County after DR-4795, a other declared June 20, 2024; 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 Santa Fe until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Santa Fe
New Mexico is in FEMA Region 6, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Santa Fe County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in New Mexico are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Santa Fe would travel I-25 and local routes, as it would for nearby Santa Fe County and Pecos. 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 Santa Fe
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Santa Fe'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 public high school cafeteria in Santa Fe schedules a 3-month renovation, regrading the floor drains and replacing the dish room, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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-25 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
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 3 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.5. Estimated rental cost
40ft Bulk Kitchen $10,995 + 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer $6,995 + 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $3,995 = $21,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $65,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
