What public records show for food service in Kanawha County
Past emergency
FEMA's 2026 declaration for Kanawha County
FEMA has made 20 major disaster declarations for Kanawha County since 2000; the latest, DR-4953, severe storms and flooding, was declared on October 7, 2026 after an incident that began August 14, 2026, and it covered Kanawha County. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. For a school, care home, or shelter in Kanawha County, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Kanawha County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Sewer Package Plant" (utilities, about $586,000) in Kanawha County after DR-4861, a severe storm declared February 26, 2025; 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 facility in Kanawha County that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Kanawha County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Chesapeake Volunteer Fire Department Substation Construction" (buildings and equipment, about $2.8 million) in Kanawha County after DR-4756, a flood declared January 30, 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 Kanawha County serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Kanawha County
West Virginia is in FEMA Region 3, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Kanawha County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. West Virginia borders Virginia, our lead market, so projects here are planned much like our Virginia work. Equipment for Kanawha County would travel I-64 and local routes, as it would for nearby Charleston and Marmet. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a senior nutrition program's production kitchen in Kanawha County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Kanawha 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 senior nutrition program's production kitchen in Kanawha County schedules a 2-month renovation, rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer, 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), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-64 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.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.
