Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Forsyth County
FEMA has made 6 major disaster declarations for Forsyth County since 2000; the latest, DR-4827, tropical storm helene, was declared on September 28, 2024 after an incident that began September 25, 2024, and it covered Winston-Salem. Declared disasters like this can interrupt power, water, and road access to commercial kitchens. For a school, care home, or shelter in Winston-Salem, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Winston-Salem
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Edgebrook and Bethabara Road Infrastucture Repairs" (roads and bridges, about $763,000) in Forsyth County after DR-4412, a tropical storm declared January 31, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Winston-Salem, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Winston-Salem that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in Forsyth County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Warehouse Facility Contents and Equipment" (buildings and equipment, about $147,000) in Forsyth 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 Winston-Salem until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Winston-Salem
North Carolina is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Forsyth 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 Winston-Salem would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Forsyth County and Walkertown. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Winston-Salem
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Winston-Salem'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-4827 (tropical storm helene, declared September 28, 2024): a hospital kitchen in Winston-Salem is knocked offline, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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 and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Day 1: call the 24/7 line and send photos of the placement area. Next: delivery and setup once placement is confirmed. Then: cooking from the trailer while the kitchen is repaired, extended by the week if repairs run long.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.
