What public records show for food service in Chelsea
Past emergency
Chelsea and DR-4718
FEMA has made 8 major disaster declarations for Faulk County since 2000; the latest, DR-4718, flooding, was declared on July 6, 2023 after an incident that began April 9, 2023, and it covered Chelsea. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Chelsea stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Faulk County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Gravel Roads Work Completed" (roads and bridges, about $173,000) in Faulk County after DR-4440, a other declared June 7, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs to roads, water systems, and utilities like this can cut service to kitchens nearby or change truck access, so we check the route before delivery. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Chelsea
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Chelsea does not have to stop meal service: a kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can run beside the building for the length of the job.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Chelsea
South Dakota is in FEMA Region 8, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Faulk County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in South Dakota are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Chelsea would travel I-90 and local routes, as it would for nearby Northville and Cresbard. 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 Chelsea
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Chelsea'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
A 2-month project at a nursing home kitchen in Chelsea, upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen, would leave the building without a usable kitchen from the first day of demolition.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-90 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen trailer 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 2 months, through final inspection of the new kitchen.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, or about $13,780 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
