What public records show for food service in Tompkins County
Past emergency
Tompkins County and DR-4322
FEMA has made 7 major disaster declarations for Tompkins County since 2000; the latest, DR-4322, severe winter storm and snowstorm, was declared on July 12, 2017 after an incident that began March 14, 2017, and it covered Tompkins County. Heavy snow closes roads and can collapse roofs or cut power to institutional kitchens. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Tompkins County
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Tompkins County since 2016. A facility in Tompkins County planning an addition or a utility upgrade can book a temporary kitchen for the phases when its own is shut.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Tompkins County
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Tompkins County 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 Tompkins County
New York is in FEMA Region 2, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Tompkins County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. New York is on the East Coast within reach of our Virginia operations, and projects here are quoted case by case. Equipment for Tompkins County would travel I-87 and local routes, as it would for nearby Cayuga Heights and Ithaca. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a nursing and rehabilitation center in Tompkins County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Tompkins County'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 and rehabilitation center in Tompkins County loses power and road access under heavy snow in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4322 (severe winter storm and snowstorm, declared July 12, 2017). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.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-87 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
