What public records show for food service in Scranton
Past emergency
Severe Storms And Flooding (2018)
The most recent federal disaster on record for Lackawanna County, which includes Scranton 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. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Scranton stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Lackawanna County
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. When work like this reaches Scranton, 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
Kitchen renovations in Scranton
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Scranton can schedule a temporary commercial kitchen for the work, sized to its menu, meal counts, and the electrical service on site, instead of closing its kitchen.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Scranton
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 Scranton would travel I-76 and local routes, as it would for nearby Taylor and Dunmore. 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 Scranton
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Scranton'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
Scranton's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4408 (severe storms and flooding, declared November 27, 2018). If a repeat left a hotel and conference center kitchen 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), 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 and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Day 1: call the 24/7 line and send photos of the placement area. Next: delivery and setup once placement is confirmed. Then: cooking from the trailer while the kitchen is repaired, extended by the week if repairs run long.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.
