What public records show for food service in Dalton
Past emergency
FEMA's 2018 declaration for Lackawanna County
The most recent federal disaster on record for Lackawanna County, which includes Dalton is DR-4408, severe storms and flooding, declared November 27, 2018. Lackawanna County has had 9 major disaster declarations since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. 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 Dalton
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Multiple Sites (Roaring Brook Upper Debris Basin; Roaring Brook @ Iron Furnaces; Lackawanna River @ Roaring Brook; Lackawanna River Upstream" (roads and bridges, about $1.9 million) in Lackawanna County after DR-4408, a flood declared November 27, 2018; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Dalton, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. 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 Dalton
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Dalton 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 Dalton
Pennsylvania is in FEMA Region 3, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Lackawanna County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Pennsylvania is on the East Coast within reach of our Virginia operations, and projects here are quoted case by case. Equipment for Dalton would travel I-76 and local routes, as it would for nearby Factoryville and Clarks Green. 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 Dalton
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Dalton'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
Dalton's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4408 (severe storms and flooding, declared November 27, 2018). If a repeat left a restaurant kitchen on the main street there unable to cook, the facility would need a working kitchen outside the building within days.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-76 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen trailer once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.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.
