What public records show for food service in Tatum
Past emergency
FEMA's 2014 declaration for Lea County
FEMA has made 2 major disaster declarations for Lea 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 Tatum. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Tatum stays closed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Tatum
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Lea County since 2016. When construction near a hospital, school, or care home in Tatum 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 Tatum
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Tatum 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 Tatum
New Mexico is in FEMA Region 6, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Lea 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 Tatum would travel I-25 and local routes, as it would for nearby Lovington and Lea County. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a nursing home kitchen in Tatum
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Tatum'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 nursing home kitchen in Tatum schedules a 3-month renovation, gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it, while it keeps serving meals.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-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 trailer takes 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
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $20,670 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
