What public records show for food service in Matthews
Past emergency
Matthews and DR-4827
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4827, tropical storm helene, on September 28, 2024 for Mecklenburg County, which includes Matthews, for an incident that began September 25, 2024. It is one of 5 major disaster declarations covering Mecklenburg 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 Matthews, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Matthews
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Mecklenburg County since 2016. When construction near a hospital, school, or care home in Matthews cuts utilities or closes a kitchen in phases, a facility could lease a mobile kitchen trailer and a dishwashing trailer for the length of the work.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Matthews
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Matthews can schedule a temporary commercial kitchen for the work, sized to its menu, meal counts, and the electrical service on site, instead of closing its kitchen.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Matthews
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Mecklenburg 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 Matthews would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Stallings and Indian Trail. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a restaurant kitchen on the main street in Matthews
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Matthews'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 restaurant kitchen on the main street in Matthews is knocked offline in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4827 (tropical storm helene, declared September 28, 2024). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft 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
Within the first day, the facility shares its meal counts and site photos. Equipment ships once placement is confirmed, and the weekly rental continues until the building kitchen reopens.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.
