What public records show for food service in Portal
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, And Tornadoes (2026)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4934, severe storms, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, on September 1, 2026 for Burke County, which includes Portal, for an incident that began June 7, 2026. It is one of 11 major disaster declarations covering Burke County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. For a school, care home, or shelter in Portal, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Portal
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Burke - Divide Electric Coop - Lights Off - Divide County" (utilities, about $4.9 million) in Burke County after DR-4660, a severe storm declared July 13, 2022; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Portal, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A facility in Portal that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Portal
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Portal 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 Portal
North Dakota is in FEMA Region 8, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Burke County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in North Dakota are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Portal would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby Lignite and Flaxton. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hotel and conference center kitchen in Portal
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Portal'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 hotel and conference center kitchen in Portal loses power for several days in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4934 (severe storms, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, declared September 1, 2026). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft 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-94 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, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.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.
