What public records show for food service in Sims
Past emergency
Tropical Storm Eta (2021)
The most recent federal disaster on record for Wilson County, which includes Sims is DR-4588, tropical storm eta, declared March 3, 2021. Wilson County has had 9 major disaster declarations since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. 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 Sims
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "City of Wilson Utilities CAT F" (utilities, about $238,000) in Wilson County after DR-4393, a hurricane declared September 14, 2018; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Sims, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Wilson County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "(PW# 1561) 7-E0792 Hyatt, Phillips, Starmount, Poplar, and Sims" (buildings and equipment, about $979,000) in Wilson County after DR-4285, a hurricane declared October 10, 2016; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs like this often include the building's kitchen or the power that feeds it. A school or senior center in Sims can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Sims
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Wilson 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 Sims would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Bailey and Wilson. 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 Sims
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Sims'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
A nursing home kitchen in Sims plans 4 months of work rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft 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. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen trailer once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Lock in dates when the renovation contract is signed. The trailers arrive just before demolition and stay 4 months, through final inspection of the new kitchen.5. Estimated rental cost
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $27,560 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
