Chino Hills, CA Commercial Kitchen Trailers for Rent

What past disasters mean for kitchens in Chino Hills

Since 1965, San Bernardino County has been named in 59 FEMA declarations; wildfire (33 declarations) and flooding (13 declarations) lead the list. Yorba Linda has its own page, and its county, Orange County, lists 41 federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.

The most recent is Bridge Fire (fire management assistance declaration, FM-5537), declared September 11, 2024, with the incident beginning September 10, 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 Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4699), declared April 3, 2023. By incident type, the count is wildfire 33, flooding 13, severe storms 7, earthquake 2 and freezing conditions 2. By decade: 1960s 3, 1970s 3, 1980s 5, 1990s 10, 2000s 21, 2010s 8 and 2020s 9. Earlier declarations include Line Fire (FM-5535, September 7, 2024), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3592, March 10, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (EM-3591, January 9, 2023), Blue Ridge Fire (FM-5381, October 26, 2020) and Wildfires (DR-4569, October 16, 2020).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 551 county-based severe-weather event records for San Bernardino County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (488) and high-wind and thunderstorm events (63). The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flash flood in July 2017, with about $8 million in property damage. Floodwater leaves a building standing but unusable, so cooking, dishwashing and cold storage have to run from a trailer on higher, firm ground.

San Bernardino County is the origin of 5 mapped wildfires of 1,000 acres or more since 2016, adding up to roughly 161,913 acres, according to NIFC. The biggest, York, burned 93,078 acres in 2023. After a fire, inspections, smoke cleanup and power restoration decide when a kitchen reopens, and the meals have to come from somewhere in between.

FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.

Major construction near Chino Hills

USASpending.gov lists 100 or more federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in San Bernardino County since October 2021. Another public record is “Construction of Mcon Project P-1231 Wastewater Treatment Plant at Mcagcc, 29 Palms California,” a $155 million Department of Defense contract from May 2023 in San Bernardino County (award record). In August 2023, the Department of Defense awarded a $87 million contract for “P-924, Range Simulation Training & Operations Facility” in San Bernardino County, with work running to September 2027 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $47 million Department of Defense contract, “Sims Center - Complete,” starting February 2023 in San Bernardino County (award record). The Department of Transportation committed $32 million to “The Contractor Shall Provide All Program Support” in San Bernardino County, awarded April 2025 (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 Chino, about 94,010 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Renovation projects that close kitchens in Chino Hills

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for San Bernardino County. The nearest is in Orange County, about 122 miles away. USASpending.gov shows a $14 million Department of Defense contract, “Design Build Building 515 Renovation,” starting September 2021 in Orange County (award record). The General Services Administration committed $13 million to “Rrch Elevator Modernization, Ronald Reagan FB and CH, Santa Ana, CA” in Orange County, awarded June 2023 (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 Anaheim starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?

Getting emergency equipment into Chino Hills

In California, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) works with counties on emergency operations. Official staging areas and the roads that connect them to local emergency-management hubs are published by those agencies and should be checked there. Staging and access details differ again in Diamond Bar, in Los Angeles County, so check the published sources for that area before planning a route.

The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Chino Valley Medical Center, in Chino, about 5 miles from Chino Hills in a straight line.
