What public records show for food service in Apex
Past emergency
Hurricane Matthew (2016)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4285, hurricane matthew, on October 10, 2016 for Wake County, which includes Apex, for an incident that began October 4, 2016. It is one of 6 major disaster declarations covering Wake County since 2000. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. For a school, care home, or shelter in Apex, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Apex
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Div 5 - Person County - SRs 1176/1305/1325" (roads and bridges, about $1.8 million) in Wake County after DR-4889, a severe storm declared September 11, 2025; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Apex, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Apex that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Apex
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "JIR Houses 40 + 41" (buildings and equipment, about $1.6 million) in Wake County after DR-4827, a tropical storm declared September 28, 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 Apex until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Apex
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Wake County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. North Carolina borders Virginia, our lead market, so projects here are planned much like our Virginia work. Equipment for Apex would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Cary and Holly Springs. 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 Apex
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Apex'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 an assisted living community's kitchen in Apex schedules a 4-month renovation, rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer, 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), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-40 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
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 4-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.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 $87,940 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
