Planning a kitchen rental in District of Columbia
Items marked RECORD come from public FEMA data; items marked SCENARIO are planning examples, not past jobs.
1
Past emergencies in District of Columbia
Record FEMA lists 12 major disaster declarations since 2000 covering District of Columbia. The most recent is snowstorm (DR-4260), declared March 4, 2016. After a declared disaster, repair crews are booked for weeks. Renting a temporary kitchen and cold storage early keeps a facility serving while it waits its turn.
2
Major construction
ScenarioWhen a hospital near District of Columbia adds a wing, utility tie-ins can take the kitchen offline in phases. A leased mobile kitchen could cover each shutdown.
3
Kitchen renovation
ScenarioA nursing home in District of Columbia renovating its kitchen still serves three meals a day. It could rent a kitchen trailer for the build and add a dish trailer to keep using real plates.
4
