What public records show for food service in Franklin County
Past emergency
Severe Winter Storm And Snowstorm (2016)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4267, severe winter storm and snowstorm, on March 23, 2016 for Franklin County, for an incident that began January 22, 2016. It is one of 7 major disaster declarations covering Franklin County since 2000. Heavy snow closes roads and can collapse roofs or cut power to institutional kitchens. For a school, care home, or shelter in Franklin County, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Franklin County
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Franklin County since 2016. Building work can still close a kitchen in Franklin County for weeks, and a leased kitchen trailer keeps the facility's own staff cooking on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Franklin County
A kitchen renovation in Franklin County usually means new hoods, walk-ins, or floors, and weeks without cooking. A temporary kitchen trailer, booked early, covers that gap.
Emergency equipment access

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a nursing and rehabilitation center in Franklin County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Franklin 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
Franklin County's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4267 (severe winter storm and snowstorm, declared March 23, 2016). If a repeat left a nursing and rehabilitation center there unable to cook, the facility would need a working kitchen outside the building within days.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-76 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.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
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.
