What public records show for food service in Benson
Past emergency
FEMA's 2018 declaration for Johnston County
FEMA has made 8 major disaster declarations for Johnston County since 2000; the latest, DR-4393, hurricane florence, was declared on September 14, 2018 after an incident that began September 7, 2018, and it covered Benson. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. For a school, care home, or shelter in Benson, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Benson
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "(PW# 1709) 7-F2149-WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT DAMAGE" (utilities, about $3.0 million) in Johnston County after DR-4285, a hurricane declared October 10, 2016; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Benson, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in Johnston County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "(PW# 1012) 7-E0907 - Facility Serv Building Damages" (buildings and equipment, about $101,000) in Johnston County after DR-4285, a hurricane declared October 10, 2016; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Rebuilding takes months, and meals cannot wait that long. A kitchen trailer and a dish trailer let a facility in Benson serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Benson
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Johnston 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 Benson would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Dunn and Coats. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: an elementary school cafeteria in Benson
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Benson'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
Benson's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4393 (hurricane florence, declared September 14, 2018). If a repeat left an elementary school cafeteria there unable to cook, the facility would need a working kitchen outside the building within days.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft 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-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
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
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 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.
