Long Beach, WA Mobile Commercial Kitchen Rentals and Emergency Cold Storage

Past emergencies and recovery needs in Long Beach

Since 1964, Pacific County has been named in 25 FEMA declarations; flooding (11 declarations) and severe storms (10 declarations) lead the list. Ilwaco 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-4906), declared April 7, 2026, with the incident beginning December 5, 2025. Floodwater can contaminate kitchen equipment and force closures until cleanup and inspection are finished, which is when replacement cooking, dishwashing and cold storage matter. By incident type, the count is flooding 11, severe storms 10, coastal storm 1, earthquake 1 and fishing losses 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 2, 1980s 2, 1990s 5, 2000s 8, 2010s 2 and 2020s 5. Before that came Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4775, April 28, 2024), Severe Winter Storms, Snowstorms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding (DR-4650, March 29, 2022), Severe Winter Storm, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4593, April 8, 2021), Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4539, April 23, 2020) and Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, Mudslides, Tornado (DR-4418, March 4, 2019).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 7 county-based event records for Pacific County; flood events account for 4 of them, high-wind and thunderstorm events for 3. The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flood in January 2022, with about $990,000 in property damage. After a flood the pad matters as much as the unit: a rental kitchen needs firm, well-drained ground and a clear route in.

NIFC lists no wildfire of 1,000 acres or more starting in Pacific County since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Mason County, about 62 miles away, where the Bear Gulch fire burned 20,233 acres in 2025.

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

Infrastructure work around Long Beach

USASpending.gov lists 17 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Pacific County since October 2021, worth about $110 million together. Another public record is “Shoalwater Dune Barrier Reconstruction, Tokeland Washington Task Order,” a $32 million Department of Defense contract from May 2022 in Pacific County (award record). In October 2024, the Department of Defense awarded a $18 million contract for “Baker Bay Pile Dike Repair Project Award” in Pacific County, with work running to January 2028 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $1.4 million Department of Homeland Security contract, “Maintenance Dredging at Station Cape Disappointment, Ilwaco, WA PSN- 21034736,” starting January 2023 in Pacific County (award record). The Department of Defense committed $1.3 million to “Cape Disappointment Erosion Repair Award” in Pacific County, awarded September 2023 (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A project in South Bend, about 1,801 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Major renovation in Long Beach

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Pacific County. The nearest is in Wahkiakum County, about 25 miles away. The Department of the Interior committed $987,000 to “US FWS Wa-Julia Butler Rfg-Barge Landing Repair” in Wahkiakum County, awarded June 2023 (award record). Work inside an occupied facility tends to take its kitchen offline for weeks, so the plan for meals has to exist before the work starts. Whoever remodels in Raymond starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?

Emergency access and staging near Long Beach

Public emergency operations in Washington are coordinated by the Washington Emergency Management Division (EMD), 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 Westport, look to the agencies covering Grays Harbor County rather than assuming the same routes.

The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Ocean Beach Hospital, a critical access hospital, in Ilwaco, about 4 miles from Long Beach in a straight line.
