What public records show for food service in Cary
Past emergency
FEMA's 2016 declaration for Wake County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4285, hurricane matthew, on October 10, 2016 for Wake County, which includes Cary, 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 Cary, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Wake County
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 Cary, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Cary that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Wake County
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. Rebuilding takes months, and meals cannot wait that long. A kitchen trailer and a dish trailer let a facility in Cary serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Cary
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 Cary would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Morrisville and Apex. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a restaurant kitchen on the main street in Cary
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Cary'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
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4285 (hurricane matthew, declared October 10, 2016): a restaurant kitchen on the main street in Cary loses power and takes on water, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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
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.
