What public records show for food service in Charleston County
Past emergency
Charleston County and DR-4677
FEMA has made 10 major disaster declarations for Charleston County since 2000; the latest, DR-4677, hurricane ian, was declared on November 21, 2022 after an incident that began September 25, 2022, and it covered Charleston County. 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
Repair projects around Charleston County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Lake Timicau Impoundment Connection Breach" (water control facilities, about $482,000) in Charleston County after DR-4346, a other declared October 16, 2017; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Charleston County, 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
Public building repairs near Charleston County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "School Buildings - Multiple Campus Sites" (buildings and equipment, about $136,000) in Charleston County after DR-4464, a hurricane declared September 30, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Rebuilding takes months, and meals cannot wait that long. A kitchen trailer and a dish trailer let a facility in Charleston County serve on site until it moves back in.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a senior nutrition program's production kitchen in Charleston County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Charleston 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
Suppose a senior nutrition program's production kitchen in Charleston County schedules a 3-month renovation, rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer, while it keeps serving meals.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-95 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
Lock in dates when the renovation contract is signed. The trailers arrive just before demolition and stay 3 months, through final inspection of the new kitchen.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, or about $65,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
