What public records show for food service in Dare County
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Dare County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4837, potential tropical cyclone eight, on October 19, 2024 for Dare County, for an incident that began September 16, 2024. It is one of 9 major disaster declarations covering Dare County since 2000. Declared disasters like this can interrupt power, water, and road access to commercial kitchens. For a school, care home, or shelter in Dare County, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Dare County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "DR 4465 NC. Repair Electrical Distribution system" (utilities, about $447,000) in Dare County after DR-4465, a hurricane declared October 4, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs to roads, water systems, and utilities like this can cut service to kitchens nearby or change truck access, so we check the route before delivery. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Dare County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Hatteras Secondary School, Gym, and Media Center" (buildings and equipment, about $103,000) in Dare County after DR-4465, a hurricane declared October 4, 2019; 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 Dare County until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Dare County
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Dare 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 Dare County would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Manteo and Nags Head. 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 Dare County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Dare 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
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4837 (potential tropical cyclone eight, declared October 19, 2024): a nursing and rehabilitation center in Dare County is knocked offline, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft 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. 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
Day 1: call the 24/7 line and send photos of the placement area. Next: delivery and setup once placement is confirmed. Then: cooking from the trailer while the kitchen is repaired, extended by the week if repairs run long.5. Estimated rental cost
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 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.
