Kerman, CA Mobile Kitchen Trailer Lease for Renovations

Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Kerman

Federal records show Fresno County designated in 18 declarations since 1969, led by flooding (6 declarations) and severe storms (4 declarations). San Joaquin has a page of its own with the federal declarations for its county, useful when one project crosses the line.

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 6, severe storms 4, wildfire 3, freezing conditions 3 and hurricane 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 1, 1980s 1, 1990s 6, 2000s 2, 2010s 1 and 2020s 6. 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), Wildfires (DR-4569, October 16, 2020) and Creek Fire (FM-5348, September 6, 2020).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 363 county-based severe-weather event records for Fresno County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (311) and high-wind and thunderstorm events (52). The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a tornado in January 2019, with about $500,000 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.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 8 large wildfires beginning in Fresno County, about 538,683 acres in all. Creek (2020, 379,802 acres) was the largest, and O30 (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.

A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.

Infrastructure work around Kerman

Since October 2021, 78 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Fresno County as the place of work. The Department of Defense committed $17 million to “Replacement of Fresno Jet Fuel Complex” in Fresno County, awarded September 2020 (award record). Another public record is “Phase II Chiller Project for VA Central California Healthcare System,” a $15 million Department of Veterans Affairs contract from September 2019 in Fresno County (award record). In January 2024, the Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a $13 million contract for “Improve Site Access and Physical Security Deficiencies for VA Fresno” in Fresno County, with work running to September 2026 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $10 million Department of Agriculture contract, “Jerseydale Work & Batterson Work Center Barracks,” starting February 2025 in Fresno County (award record). Work like this puts crews on a site for months, often far from a restaurant, and the meals become a logistics question before the first shift starts. A project in Fresno, about 550,105 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.
