Ferndale, CA Mobile Kitchen Trailer Lease for Renovations

Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Ferndale

Federal records show Humboldt County designated in 25 declarations since 1964, led by flooding (12 declarations) and severe storms (8 declarations). A project that reaches Fortuna should read that page too; it lists the declarations for its county.

The most recent is Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4699), declared April 3, 2023, with the incident beginning February 21, 2023. Severe storms interrupt power, roads and deliveries together, which is hard on any operation that serves meals on a schedule. By incident type, the count is flooding 12, severe storms 8, hurricane 1, wildfire 1 and fishing losses 1. By decade: 1960s 3, 1970s 2, 1980s 3, 1990s 8, 2000s 2, 2010s 3 and 2020s 4. The records also list Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3592, March 10, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4683, January 14, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (EM-3591, January 9, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4434, May 17, 2019) and Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (DR-4308, April 1, 2017).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 97 county-based event records for Humboldt County; flood events account for 88 of them, high-wind and thunderstorm events for 9. After a flood the pad matters as much as the unit: a rental kitchen needs firm, well-drained ground and a clear route in.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 14 large wildfires beginning in Humboldt County, about 243,384 acres in all. Red (2020, 143,887 acres) was the largest, and Mp18 (2026) the most recent. Crews fighting and rebuilding after a fire eat on site for weeks, and the kitchens that fed the town may be the ones that lost power.

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

Construction projects and crew meals near Ferndale

USASpending.gov lists 18 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Humboldt County since October 2021, worth about $67 million together. The Department of the Interior committed $3 million to “Ca-Humboldt Bay Nwr-Long Pond Tide Gate” in Humboldt County, awarded September 2024 (award record). Another public record is “Recreation Facilities Water Systems Upgrades. GAOA. Six Rivers National Forest,” a $2.4 million Department of Agriculture contract from September 2023 in Humboldt County (award record). In July 2023, the Department of the Interior awarded a $1.9 million contract for “Replace Geneva Road Bridges #2 & #3, Redwood National and State Parks, Humboldt County, California” in Humboldt County, with work running to June 2025 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $1.2 million Department of the Interior contract, “GPC Road Removal 2023, Redwood National and State Parks, Humboldt County, California,” starting March 2023 in Humboldt County (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 Rio Dell, about 3,259 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Rebuilds and remodels around Ferndale

USASpending.gov shows a $3.9 million Department of Homeland Security contract, “Major Maintenance & Repair Exterior and Heads at Sta Humbolt Bay,” starting June 2024 in Humboldt County (award record). The Department of the Interior committed $1.4 million to “Punta Gorda Oil House Rehabilitation (Gaoa-Funded)” in Humboldt County, awarded March 2023 (award record). Whoever remodels in Eureka starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?

Emergency access and staging near Ferndale

The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in California. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. For work in Arcata, look to the agencies covering that area rather than assuming the same routes.

Providence Redwood Memorial Hospital, a critical access hospital is the nearest hospital CMS lists, in Fortuna, about 6 miles from Ferndale in a straight line.
