What public records show for food service in Smith County
Past emergency
Severe Winter Storm (2026)
The most recent federal disaster on record for Smith County 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. 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 Smith County
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 Smith County, 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 Smith County
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Smith County 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 Smith County
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 Smith County would travel I-40 and local routes, as it would for nearby Carthage and South Carthage. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a nursing and rehabilitation center in Smith County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Smith 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 nursing and rehabilitation center in Smith County has a pipe burst during a hard freeze in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4898 (severe winter storm, declared February 6, 2026). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Container (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-40 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
Within the first day, the facility shares its meal counts and site photos. Equipment ships once placement is confirmed, and the weekly rental continues until the building kitchen reopens.5. Estimated rental cost
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 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.
