What past disasters mean for kitchens in Glenns Ferry

OpenFEMA lists 9 disaster declarations that include Elmore County, going back to 1964. The most frequent incident types were flooding (3 declarations) and wildfire (3 declarations). Mountain Home has a page of its own with the federal declarations for its county, useful when one project crosses the line.

The most recent is Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4333), declared August 27, 2017, with the incident beginning May 6, 2017. 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 flooding 3, wildfire 3, hurricane 1, severe storms 1 and drought 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 1, 1990s 1, 2000s 2 and 2010s 4. Earlier declarations include Severe Winter Storms and Flooding (DR-4310, April 21, 2017), Elk Fire (FM-5043, August 13, 2013), Trinity Ridge Fire (FM-5006, August 15, 2012), Hurricane Katrina (EM-3244, September 13, 2005) and Wildfires (DR-1341, September 1, 2000).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 30 county-based event records for Elmore County; high-wind and thunderstorm events account for 26 of them, flood events for 4. NOAA's largest reported property loss there is $100,000, from a flood in May 2017. Storm winds mean outages measured in days in some places, so the generator question belongs in the plan from the start.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 15 large wildfires beginning in Elmore County, about 69,379 acres in all. Berry (2024, 14,195 acres) was the largest, and Mm115 Hwy 20 (2026) the most recent. A fire that never touches a kitchen can still close it: evacuation orders, smoke and utility shutoffs come first.

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

Infrastructure work around Glenns Ferry

USASpending.gov lists 51 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Elmore County since October 2021, worth about $265 million together. The Department of Defense committed $94 million to “Construct Water Treatment Plant” in Elmore County, awarded April 2024 (award record). Another public record is “Design Build Initial Outfitting Project for Mountain Home, ID, Hospital Conversion,” a $24 million Department of Defense contract from August 2019 in Elmore County (award record). In June 2023, the Department of the Interior awarded a $17 million contract for “Anderson Ranch Dam Turbine Modernization and Runner Replacement” in Elmore County, with work running to July 2027 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $5.6 million Department of Defense contract, “Inspect, Design and Repair of Multiple Fuel Facilities at Mountain Home Afb, ID,” starting December 2018 in Elmore 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 Gooding, about 3,825 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Another public record is “Repair Taxiway Foxtrot - Arm and Disarm Pad,” a $6.3 million Department of Defense contract from February 2021 in Elmore County (award record). The closure date drives the plan in Wendell too.
