What public records show for food service in Des Moines
Past emergency
FEMA's 2026 declaration for King County
FEMA has made 14 major disaster declarations for King County since 2000; the latest, DR-4906, severe storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, was declared on April 7, 2026 after an incident that began December 5, 2025, and it covered Des Moines. 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 Des Moines stays closed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Des Moines
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "DR 4635 - City of Seattle - Diablo Dam Intake Facility - Trash Rack Replacement" (water control facilities, about $15.4 million) in King County after DR-4635, a mud/landslide declared January 5, 2022; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Des Moines, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in King County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "DR4775-WA - King County - 755642 - Permanent Shelter Facility Flooding (Redmond Silver Cloud Shelter)" (buildings and equipment, about $241,000) in King County after DR-4775, a severe storm declared April 28, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When a public building is repaired after a disaster, its kitchen can be out of service for months. A temporary kitchen on site covers meal service at a school, shelter, or government building in Des Moines until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Des Moines
Washington is in FEMA Region 10, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, King County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Washington are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Des Moines would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Normandy Park and SeaTac. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Des Moines
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Des Moines'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
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4906 (severe storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, declared April 7, 2026): a hospital kitchen in Des Moines floods at ground level, and the people it feeds still need their 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-5 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
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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
