What public records show for food service in New Hanover County
Past emergency
New Hanover County and DR-4837
The most recent federal disaster on record for New Hanover County is DR-4837, potential tropical cyclone eight, declared October 19, 2024. New Hanover County has had 11 major disaster declarations since 2000. Declared disasters like this can interrupt power, water, and road access to commercial kitchens. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Road and utility work near New Hanover County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Vector clogged SW pipes" (water control facilities, about $171,000) in New Hanover County after DR-4837, a tropical storm declared October 19, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches New Hanover County, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in New Hanover County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Town of Kure Beach Buildings and Fire Engine" (buildings and equipment, about $143,000) in New Hanover County after DR-4837, a tropical storm declared October 19, 2024; 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 New Hanover County until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to New Hanover County
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, New Hanover 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 New Hanover County would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: the county school division's central kitchen in New Hanover County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using New Hanover 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): the county school division's central kitchen in New Hanover County is knocked offline, 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), 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. 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
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.
