What public records show for food service in Wake County
Past emergency
Wake County and DR-4285
The most recent federal disaster on record for Wake County is DR-4285, hurricane matthew, declared October 10, 2016. Wake County has had 6 major disaster declarations since 2000. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Repair projects around Wake County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Div 5 - Person County - SRs 1176/1305/1325" (roads and bridges, about $1.8 million) in Wake County after DR-4889, a severe storm declared September 11, 2025; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Wake 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 Wake County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "JIR Houses 40 + 41" (buildings and equipment, about $1.6 million) in Wake County after DR-4827, a tropical storm declared September 28, 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 Wake County until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Wake County
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Wake 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 Wake County would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Raleigh and Garner. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs
Kitchen trailer rental costs in Wake County

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a nursing and rehabilitation center in Wake County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Wake 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
Suppose a nursing and rehabilitation center in Wake County loses power and takes on water in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4285 (hurricane matthew, declared October 10, 2016). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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
First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.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.
