Seaside, OR Mobile Kitchen Trailer Lease for Renovations

What past disasters mean for kitchens in Seaside

Federal records show Clatsop County designated in 17 declarations since 1964, led by severe storms (10 declarations) and flooding (5 declarations). Gearhart has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.

The most recent is Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4907), declared April 7, 2026, with the incident beginning December 15, 2025. 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 severe storms 10, flooding 5, coastal storm 1 and fishing losses 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 2, 1990s 4, 2000s 7, 2010s 2 and 2020s 1. Earlier declarations include Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4258, February 17, 2016), Severe Winter Storm, Flooding, Mudslides, Landslides, and Debris Flows (DR-1956, February 17, 2011), Severe Winter Storm, Record and Near Record Snow (DR-1824, March 2, 2009), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-1733, December 8, 2007) and Severe Winter Storm and Flooding (DR-1683, February 22, 2007).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 5 county-based severe-weather event records for Clatsop County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (3) and high-wind and thunderstorm events (2). Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.

NIFC lists no wildfire of 1,000 acres or more starting in Clatsop County since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Clark County, about 61 miles away, where the Nakia Creek fire burned 1,930 acres in 2022.

Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.

Construction projects and crew meals near Seaside

USASpending.gov lists 16 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Clatsop County since October 2021, worth about $343 million together. In August 2019, the Department of Defense awarded a $172 million contract for “Mouth of the Columbia River, (MCR) South Jetty Rehabilitation” in Clatsop County, with work running to September 2026 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $54 million Department of Defense contract, “MCR Sand Island Pile Dike Repairs,” starting September 2022 in Clatsop County (award record). The Department of Homeland Security committed $35 million to “Design and Construct FRC Homeport Astoria in Astoria, OR” in Clatsop County, awarded July 2022 (award record). Another public record is “Pier Repairs at Tongue Point Facility Astoria, OR,” a $4.1 million Department of Homeland Security contract from August 2023 in Clatsop 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 Cannon Beach, about 1,500 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Major renovation in Seaside

Another public record is “Repair HVAC Hangar at Base Astoria Warrenton, OR,” a $4.4 million Department of Homeland Security contract from September 2026 in Clatsop County (award record). In April 2022, the Department of the Interior awarded a $3.4 million contract for “Renovate Visitor Center Building, Lewi” in Clatsop County, with work running to May 2024 (award record). A remodel in Warrenton would start from the same closure date and the same temporary-kitchen question.

Emergency access and staging near Seaside

Public emergency operations in Oregon are coordinated by the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM), with county emergency managers handling local response. Staging areas and access routes for disaster response are published by those agencies and can change, so this page does not draw a route. For work in Astoria, look to the agencies covering that area rather than assuming the same routes.

By CMS's hospital list, the closest to Seaside is Providence Seaside Hospital, a critical access hospital, in Seaside itself.
