What public records show for food service in Southampton County
Past emergency
Hurricane Matthew (2016)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4291, hurricane matthew, on November 2, 2016 for Southampton County, for an incident that began October 7, 2016. It is one of 5 major disaster declarations covering the county since 2000. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Road construction in Southampton County
VDOT's Six-Year Improvement Program lists "Southampton High School US 58" in Southampton County at an estimated $3.5 million. The project is scheduled, with construction listed to begin in February 2027. Work zones like this can change how a truck reaches a site, so we check active VDOT work before planning a delivery. A long public project can also bring crews to the area, and a caterer or facility feeding them could add a mobile kitchen trailer for the duration.
Major renovation
Rebuilding local roads and bridges
VDOT's Six-Year Improvement Program lists "RTE 614 Over Seacock Swamp Replacement (Fed Id 17781)" on Seacock Chapel Road in Southampton County at an estimated $7.3 million. The project is under construction, with completion listed for April 2027. Reconstruction like this keeps the route open for heavy deliveries. Kitchen renovations follow the same pattern: when a school, hospital, or care-home kitchen in Southampton County is rebuilt, a temporary kitchen on site covers meal service until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Southampton County
Statewide emergency operations are coordinated from the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC) at 7700 Midlothian Turnpike, North Chesterfield, VA 23235; Southampton County lies about 59 miles southeast of it in a straight line. Locally, Southampton County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Southampton County is in VDOT's Hampton Roads District, and we plan routes around its active work zones, as we do for nearby Courtland and Capron. We confirm the route, gate access, and placement area with your team before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a nursing and rehabilitation center in Southampton County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Southampton 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
Southampton County's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4291 (hurricane matthew, declared November 2, 2016). If a repeat left a nursing and rehabilitation center there unable to cook, the facility would need a working kitchen outside the building within days.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.3. Site and delivery
The truck route into Southampton County would account for VDOT's "Southampton High School US 58", listed as activity dates set - rw started, and the facility's own gate and turning room. 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
First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.5. Estimated rental cost
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 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.
