What public records show for food service in Lykens
Past emergency
FEMA's 2021 declaration for Dauphin County
The most recent federal disaster on record for Dauphin County, which includes Lykens is DR-4618, remnants of hurricane ida, declared September 10, 2021. Dauphin County has had 9 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
Public works repair in Dauphin County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "D3 Tioga Project 8" (roads and bridges, about $1.1 million) in Dauphin County after DR-4815, a tropical storm declared September 11, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Lykens, 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 Dauphin County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "APP CERT - 88762 - E - Store 0803 Contents and Equipment" (buildings and equipment, about $101,000) in Dauphin County after DR-4408, a flood declared November 27, 2018; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs like this often include the building's kitchen or the power that feeds it. A school or senior center in Lykens can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a restaurant kitchen on the main street in Lykens
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Lykens'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
Lykens's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4618 (remnants of hurricane ida, declared September 10, 2021). 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), 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 trailer takes 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
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.
