What public records show for food service in Jacksonville
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Onslow County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4837, potential tropical cyclone eight, on October 19, 2024 for Onslow County, which includes Jacksonville, for an incident that began September 16, 2024. It is one of 11 major disaster declarations covering Onslow 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 Jacksonville, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Onslow County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Repairs to Electrical Grid" (utilities, about $691,000) in Onslow County after DR-4568, a hurricane declared October 14, 2020; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Jacksonville, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Jacksonville that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Onslow County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Onslow Memorial Hospital" (buildings and equipment, about $1.7 million) in Onslow County after DR-4393, a hurricane declared September 14, 2018; 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 Jacksonville serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Jacksonville
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Onslow 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 Jacksonville would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Onslow County and Richlands. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Jacksonville
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Jacksonville'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 hospital kitchen in Jacksonville is knocked offline in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4837 (potential tropical cyclone eight, declared October 19, 2024). 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), 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
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.
