What public records show for food service in Stem
Past emergency
Stem and DR-4412
The most recent federal disaster on record for Granville County, which includes Stem is DR-4412, tropical storm michael, declared January 31, 2019. Granville 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 Stem stays closed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Stem
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "South Granville Water and Sewer Authority Aerial Sewer Line CAT F" (utilities, about $406,000) in Granville County after DR-4393, a hurricane declared September 14, 2018; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Stem, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Stem
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Stem does not have to stop meal service: a kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can run beside the building for the length of the job.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Stem
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Granville 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 Stem would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Butner and Creedmoor. 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 Stem
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Stem'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-4412 (tropical storm michael, declared January 31, 2019): a restaurant kitchen on the main street in Stem loses power and takes on water, and the people it feeds still need their meals.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. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen trailer takes about 5 hours to connect and start up.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
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 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.
