Winters, CA Temporary Commercial Kitchen Rental and Lease Options

Past emergencies and recovery needs in Winters

OpenFEMA lists 20 disaster declarations that include Yolo County, going back to 1964. The most frequent incident types were severe storms (7 declarations) and flooding (6 declarations). Dixon has its own page, and its county, Solano County, lists 28 federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.

The most recent is Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4683), declared January 14, 2023, with the incident beginning December 27, 2022. Flooding tends to knock out power and drainage first, leaving kitchens unable to cook or keep food cold even when the building is standing. By incident type, the count is severe storms 7, flooding 6, wildfire 3, hurricane 1 and freezing conditions 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 1, 1980s 2, 1990s 5, 2000s 2, 2010s 5 and 2020s 4. The records also list Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (EM-3591, January 9, 2023), Wildfires (DR-4558, August 22, 2020), Lnu Lightning Fire Complex (FM-5331, August 18, 2020), 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 49 county-based event records for Yolo County; flood events account for 44 of them, high-wind and thunderstorm events for 5. The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flood in January 2023, with about $11 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.

No wildfire of 1,000 acres or more has a mapped origin in Yolo County in NIFC's records since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Napa County, about 26 miles away, where the Glass fire burned 67,484 acres in 2020.

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

Construction projects and crew meals near Winters

Since October 2021, 17 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Yolo County as the place of work. The Department of Defense committed $145 million to “Reach a Levee Improvements” in Yolo County, awarded October 2021 (award record). Another public record is “West Sac Yolo Bypass - South Improvement,” a $18 million Department of Defense contract from May 2023 in Yolo County (award record). In September 2020, the Department of Defense awarded a $11 million contract for “Levee Repair at P.L. 84-99 Site 0561-31” in Yolo County, with work running to January 2022 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $11 million Department of Defense contract, “Ybel - North Improvement Project,” starting September 2023 in Yolo County (award record). Crews on projects like this rarely have a restaurant nearby, which is the case for cooking on site with a rented kitchen and a dishwashing trailer. A project in Vacaville, about 103,994 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Renovation projects that close kitchens in Winters

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Yolo County. The nearest is in Napa County, about 26 miles away. In September 2021, the Department of the Interior awarded a $643,000 contract for “Lake Berryessa Roof Replacement” in Napa County, with work running to April 2022 (award record). Renovations like this are the usual reason an institution leases a mobile kitchen, because the permanent one cannot run while the work is under way. Davis is on the same footing: the old kitchen closes on a date, and the temporary one has to be cooking before it.

Emergency access and staging near Winters
