Since 1969, Fresno County has been named in 18 FEMA declarations; flooding (6 declarations) and severe storms (4 declarations) lead the list. If you plan across towns, check the page for Dinuba as well; Tulare County has 21 federal declarations on record.

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. Storm damage and long power outages can shut kitchens and warm the contents of walk-in coolers within hours. 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. Before that came 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).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 363 county-based event records for Fresno County; flood events account for 311 of them, high-wind and thunderstorm events for 52. NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $500,000, from a tornado in January 2019. 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 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. 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.

Construction projects and crew meals near Reedley

Since October 2021, 78 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Fresno County as the place of work. Another public record is “Replacement of Fresno Jet Fuel Complex,” a $17 million Department of Defense contract from September 2020 in Fresno County (award record). In September 2019, the Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a $15 million contract for “Phase II Chiller Project for VA Central California Healthcare System” in Fresno County, with work running to May 2024 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $13 million Department of Veterans Affairs contract, “Improve Site Access and Physical Security Deficiencies for VA Fresno,” starting January 2024 in Fresno County (award record). The Department of Agriculture committed $10 million to “Jerseydale Work & Batterson Work Center Barracks” in Fresno County, awarded February 2025 (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 job in Parlier (about 14,429 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.
