Commercial kitchen trailers for Juneau
Emergency food service in Juneau often starts with one question: where will the next meal be cooked? A commercial kitchen trailer on a level pad gives the answer while the permanent kitchen is out of action. Sitka, with about 8,355 residents, and Wrangell are a long way from here, but a kitchen there is sized by the same things: menu, headcount and the power on site.
Kitchens in the fleet run from the 24ft Mobile Kitchen up to the 40ft Bulk Combo Kitchen. For a site like this one, the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen, 38ft Mobile Kitchen and 28ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.

Juneau: emergencies, projects, access and costs
Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Juneau
OpenFEMA lists 2 disaster declarations that include Juneau City and Borough, going back to 2021. The most frequent incident types were flooding (1 declaration) and mudslides and landslides (1 declaration). Sitka has its own page, and its county, Sitka City and Borough, lists 0 federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.
The most recent is Flooding (major disaster declaration, DR-4836), declared October 16, 2024, with the incident beginning August 5, 2024. Flooding tends to knock out power and drainage first, leaving kitchens unable to cook or keep food cold even when the building is standing. Earlier declarations include Severe Storm, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4585, February 17, 2021).
NOAA has no storm records filed under Juneau City and Borough. The nearest county with records is Sitka City and Borough, about 93 miles away, with 7 county-based event records from 2016 to 2025, led by flood events (6). Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.
No wildfire of 1,000 acres or more has a mapped origin in Juneau City and Borough in NIFC's records since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Copper River Census Area, about 419 miles away, where the Fish Lake fire burned 1,842 acres in 2025.
A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.
Infrastructure work around Juneau
USASpending.gov lists 16 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Juneau City and Borough since October 2021, worth about $52 million together. Another public record is “Mendenhall River Flood Barrier Repair and Fortification Project in Juneau, Alaska,” a $34 million Department of Defense contract from February 2026 in Juneau City and Borough (award record). In April 2026, the Department of Agriculture awarded a $4.3 million contract for “GAOA Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center Deferred Maintenance Phase 1” in Juneau City and Borough, with work running to January 2027 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $1.9 million General Services Administration contract, “Design-Build Uscg Server Room Cooling System in Juneau Federal Building in Juneau, AK,” starting July 2024 in Juneau City and Borough (award record). The Department of Agriculture committed $1.8 million to “Project Name: JRD Compound Heating - Ventilation - Air Conditioning & Envelope Improvements” in Juneau City and Borough, awarded April 2026 (award record). Crews on projects like this rarely have a restaurant nearby, which is the case for cooking on site with a rented kitchen and a dishwashing trailer. A job in Wrangell (about 2,064 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.
Rebuilds and remodels around Juneau
Another public record is “GAOA Mgvc Deferred Maintenance: Roof Replacement Construction,” a $825,000 Department of Agriculture contract from February 2022 in Juneau City and Borough (award record). Whoever remodels in Craig starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?
Emergency access and staging near Juneau
Public emergency operations in Alaska are coordinated by the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHS&EM), with county emergency managers handling local response. Staging areas and access routes for disaster response are published by those agencies and can change, so this page does not draw a route. For work in Ketchikan, look to the agencies covering Ketchikan Gateway Borough rather than assuming the same routes.

What a kitchen rental costs in Juneau

As a guide, prices start at the 24ft Mobile Kitchen from $4,995, the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen from $9,995 and the 28ft Mobile Kitchen from $6,995, and they may vary. A kitchen for Cordova, 429 miles from here, is built from the same quote, with delivery adjusted for the address.
Starting prices are guides, and prices may vary with location, rental length, delivery, setup and utilities. A written quote states the equipment, the rental period and what is included.

Dishwashing trailers and cold storage for Juneau
Pair the kitchen with dishwashing. The 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer lists conveyor-type high-temperature dishwasher, a three-compartment sink and a handwashing sink, on 220V, 3 phase, 200A. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Ketchikan, 229 miles from here, as it does here.
When a compressor quits, product loss follows within hours. Emergency refrigerated trailers, such as the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer, are rented to restaurants, hotels, hospitals and institutions around Juneau. Cordova sits in Chugach Census Area, which has 0 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.
Industries we serve around Juneau

Valdez (about 3,715 residents) and Seward (about 2,882 residents) each have their own mix of hospitals, schools and plants, but the reasons they rent line up.
