What public records show for food service in Selma
Past emergency
Hurricane Florence (2018)
The most recent federal disaster on record for Johnston County, which includes Selma is DR-4393, hurricane florence, declared September 14, 2018. Johnston County has had 8 major disaster declarations since 2000. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Selma stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Johnston County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "(PW# 1709) 7-F2149-WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT DAMAGE" (utilities, about $3.0 million) in Johnston County after DR-4285, a hurricane declared October 10, 2016; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Selma, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A facility in Selma that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Selma
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "(PW# 1012) 7-E0907 - Facility Serv Building Damages" (buildings and equipment, about $101,000) in Johnston County after DR-4285, a hurricane declared October 10, 2016; 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 Selma until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Selma
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Johnston 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 Selma would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Pine Level and Smithfield. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a nursing home kitchen in Selma
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Selma'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 nursing home kitchen in Selma schedules a 4-month renovation, regrading the floor drains and replacing the dish room, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (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. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.4. Timeline
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 4 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.5. Estimated rental cost
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 per month on our starting price list, or about $47,540 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
