What public records show for food service in Amherst
Past emergency
FEMA's 2021 declaration for Lamb County
FEMA has made 7 major disaster declarations for Lamb County since 2000; the latest, DR-4586, severe winter storms, was declared on February 19, 2021 after an incident that began February 11, 2021, and it covered Amherst. Ice storms bring down power lines; without power, kitchens stop cooking and walk-in coolers warm up. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Amherst stays closed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Amherst
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Hockley County - Power Transmission, Distribution, & Restoration" (utilities, about $1.2 million) in Lamb County after DR-4781, a severe storm declared May 17, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Amherst, 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 Amherst
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Amherst 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 Amherst
Texas is in FEMA Region 6, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Lamb County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Texas are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Amherst would travel I-10 and local routes, as it would for nearby Lamb County and Sudan. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Amherst
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Amherst'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 4-month project at a public high school cafeteria in Amherst, rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer, 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), 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-10 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
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 4 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.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 $27,560 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
