What public records show for food service in Swansboro
Past emergency
Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight (2024)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4837, potential tropical cyclone eight, on October 19, 2024 for Onslow County, which includes Swansboro, for an incident that began September 16, 2024. It is one of 11 major disaster declarations covering Onslow 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 Swansboro, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Onslow County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Repairs to Electrical Grid" (utilities, about $691,000) in Onslow County after DR-4568, a hurricane declared October 14, 2020; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Swansboro, 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 Onslow County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Onslow Memorial Hospital" (buildings and equipment, about $1.7 million) in Onslow County after DR-4393, a hurricane declared September 14, 2018; 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 Swansboro until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Swansboro
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Onslow 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 Swansboro would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Cedar Point and Cape Carteret. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Swansboro
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Swansboro'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
An assisted living community's kitchen in Swansboro plans 4 months of work upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), parked near the loading dock, where staff can move food between the trailers and the serving line.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
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.
