What public records show for food service in San Marcos
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Hays County
FEMA has made 10 major disaster declarations for Hays County since 2000; the latest, DR-4781, severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, and flooding, was declared on May 17, 2024 after an incident that began April 26, 2024, and it covered San Marcos. 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 San Marcos stays closed.
Major construction
Repair projects around San Marcos
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Citywide Utilities Damages FA and MOU" (utilities, about $211,000) in Hays County after DR-4781, a severe storm declared May 17, 2024; 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
Public building repairs near San Marcos
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Cypress Apts., Bldg., 1063-1064" (buildings and equipment, about $1.0 million) in Hays County after DR-4781, a severe storm declared May 17, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Rebuilding takes months, and meals cannot wait that long. A kitchen trailer and a dish trailer let a facility in San Marcos serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to San Marcos
Texas is in FEMA Region 6, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Hays 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 San Marcos would travel I-10 and local routes, as it would for nearby Martindale and Kyle. 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 San Marcos
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using San Marcos'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 3-month project at an assisted living community's kitchen in San Marcos, 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 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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-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
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 3-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.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 $65,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
