What public records show for food service in Portage
Past emergency
FEMA's 2008 declaration for Columbia County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-1768, severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, on June 14, 2008 for Columbia County, which includes Portage, for an incident that began June 5, 2008. It is one of 5 major disaster declarations covering Columbia County since 2000. 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 Portage, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Portage
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Columbia County since 2016. A facility in Portage planning an addition or a utility upgrade can book a temporary kitchen for the phases when its own is shut.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Portage
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Portage does not have to stop meal service: a kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can run beside the building for the length of the job.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Portage
Wisconsin is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Columbia County emergency management leads response.

Projects in Wisconsin are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Portage would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby Pardeeville and Columbia 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 Portage
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Portage'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 Portage schedules a 4-month renovation, replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (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-94 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 4 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.5. Estimated rental cost
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 per month on our starting price list, or about $47,540 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
