What public records show for food service in Carthage
Past emergency
Carthage and DR-4898
The most recent federal disaster on record for Smith County, which includes Carthage is DR-4898, severe winter storm, declared February 6, 2026. Smith County has had 12 major disaster declarations since 2000. Winter storms cut power and close roads, and frozen pipes can flood a kitchen. For a school, care home, or shelter in Carthage, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Carthage
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Utility Restoration" (utilities, about $278,000) in Smith County after DR-4898, a winter storm declared February 6, 2026; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Carthage, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Carthage
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Carthage 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 Carthage
Tennessee is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Smith County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Tennessee borders Virginia, our lead market, so projects here are planned much like our Virginia work. Equipment for Carthage would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Smith County and South Carthage. 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 Carthage
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Carthage'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 Carthage, gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it, 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), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-40 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
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
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.
