What public records show for food service in Salem
Past emergency
FEMA's 2026 declaration for Harrison County
FEMA has made 13 major disaster declarations for Harrison 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 Salem. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Salem stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Harrison County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "DOH District 4 Completed Work Project 2" (roads and bridges, about $441,000) in Harrison County after DR-4884, a severe storm declared July 22, 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. 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 Salem
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Salem 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 Salem
West Virginia is in FEMA Region 3, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Harrison 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 Salem would travel I-64 and local routes, as it would for nearby Doddridge County and Harrison County. 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 Salem
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Salem'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
An assisted living community's kitchen in Salem plans 4 months of work replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (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. 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.
