What past disasters mean for kitchens in Guadalupe

OpenFEMA lists 24 disaster declarations that include Maricopa County, going back to 1966. The most frequent incident types were wildfire (11 declarations) and flooding (9 declarations). Tempe has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.

The most recent is Boulder View Fire (fire management assistance declaration, FM-5501), declared June 28, 2024. Evacuations, smoke damage and power shutoffs can close commercial kitchens and spoil refrigerated stock, while crews and displaced staff still need hot meals. The latest major disaster declaration is Severe Storms and Flooding (DR-4203), declared November 5, 2014. By incident type, the count is wildfire 11, flooding 9, severe storms 3 and hurricane 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 4, 1980s 1, 1990s 3, 2000s 6, 2010s 1 and 2020s 8. Before that came Rose Fire (FM-5496, June 12, 2024), Diamond Fire (FM-5466, June 28, 2023), Avondale Fire (FM-5315, June 27, 2020), Aquila Fire (FM-5314, June 23, 2020) and Bush Fire (FM-5313, June 20, 2020).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 1,189 county-based severe-weather event records for Maricopa County between 2016 and 2025, led by high-wind and thunderstorm events (684) and flood events (505). The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flash flood in August 2021, with about $25 million in property damage. High wind rarely wrecks a kitchen directly. It cuts the power to it, and the walk-in cooler is the first thing to suffer.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 20 large wildfires beginning in Maricopa County, about 310,256 acres in all. Bush (2020, 193,604 acres) was the largest, and Afm - Hazen (2026) the most recent. Fire weather means planned power cuts as well as fires, and a walk-in cooler does not keep product cold through a long shutoff.

Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.

Construction projects and crew meals near Guadalupe

USASpending.gov lists 100 or more federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Maricopa County since October 2021. USASpending.gov shows a $1651 million Department of Homeland Security contract, “Yum-2 Vertical Border and Waterborne Barrier Construction,” starting December 2025 in Maricopa County (award record). The Department of Homeland Security committed $225 million to “Border Infrastructure Construction” in Maricopa County, awarded September 2024 (award record). Another public record is “Design Build Construction,” a $34 million Department of Veterans Affairs contract from September 2018 in Maricopa County (award record). In June 2022, the Department of Defense awarded a $16 million contract for “Various Petroleum Oil Lubricant Repairs and Api 653 Inspections at Luke Afb, Arizona” in Maricopa County, with work running to September 2026 (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A project in Chandler, about 281,231 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Rebuilds and remodels around Guadalupe

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Maricopa County. The nearest is in Pinal County, about 72 miles away. The Department of Health and Human Services committed $3 million to “DZ Health Center HVAC Upgrades” in Pinal County, awarded July 2023 (award record). Another public record is “Desert Vision Renovations,” a $1.8 million Department of Health and Human Services contract from December 2022 in Pinal County (award record). Building repair and modernization work often closes a kitchen for part of the project, which is when a temporary kitchen on a lease keeps meals going. Whoever remodels in Paradise Valley starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?
