What public records show for food service in Austin
Past emergency
Austin and DR-4879
FEMA has made 15 major disaster declarations for Travis County since 2000; the latest, DR-4879, severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding, was declared on July 6, 2025 after an incident that began July 2, 2025, and it covered Austin. 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 Austin stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Travis County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Hunt Substation and T-Lines" (utilities, about $1.4 million) in Travis County after DR-4879, a flood declared July 6, 2025; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Austin, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Austin that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Austin
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "4 (EA) Buildings and Patient Recovery House" (buildings and equipment, about $124,000) in Travis County after DR-4586, a winter storm declared February 19, 2021; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs like this often include the building's kitchen or the power that feeds it. A school or senior center in Austin can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Austin
Texas is in FEMA Region 6, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Travis 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 Austin would travel I-10 and local routes, as it would for nearby Rollingwood and West Lake Hills. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Austin
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Austin'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 an assisted living community's kitchen in Austin schedules a 2-month renovation, regrading the floor drains and replacing the dish room, 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), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-10 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
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 2 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.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 $43,970 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
