What public records show for food service in Middletown
Past emergency
Remnants Of Hurricane Ida (2021)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4618, remnants of hurricane ida, on September 10, 2021 for Dauphin County, which includes Middletown, for an incident that began August 31, 2021. It is one of 9 major disaster declarations covering Dauphin County 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. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Middletown, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Middletown that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
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. 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 Middletown until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access

Pennsylvania is in FEMA Region 3, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Dauphin 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 Middletown would travel I-76 and local routes, as it would for nearby Royalton and Highspire. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a nursing home kitchen in Middletown
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Middletown'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 nursing home kitchen in Middletown schedules a 2-month renovation, upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft 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-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
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 2-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.5. Estimated rental cost
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 per month on our starting price list, or about $23,770 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
