South Bend, WA Mobile Kitchen Trailer Lease for Renovations

What past disasters mean for kitchens in South Bend

Since 1964, Pacific County has been named in 25 FEMA declarations; flooding (11 declarations) and severe storms (10 declarations) lead the list. A project that reaches Raymond should read that page too; it lists the declarations for its county.

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. 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 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).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 7 county-based severe-weather event records for Pacific County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (4) and high-wind and thunderstorm events (3). The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a flood in January 2022, with about $990,000 in property damage. Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.

No wildfire of 1,000 acres or more has a mapped origin in Pacific 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 Mason County, about 62 miles away, where the Bear Gulch fire burned 20,233 acres in 2025.

FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.

Construction projects and crew meals near South Bend

Since October 2021, 17 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Pacific County as the place of work. 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). 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 Cosmopolis, about 1,663 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Rebuilds and remodels around South Bend

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. Another public record is “US FWS Wa-Julia Butler Rfg-Barge Landing Repair,” a $987,000 Department of the Interior contract from June 2023 in Wahkiakum County (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. A remodel in Aberdeen, in Grays Harbor County, would start from the same closure date and the same temporary-kitchen question.

Getting emergency equipment into South Bend

In Washington, the Washington Emergency Management Division (EMD) works with counties on emergency operations. Official staging areas and the roads that connect them to local emergency-management hubs are published by those agencies and should be checked there. For work in Westport, look to the agencies covering Grays Harbor County rather than assuming the same routes.

Willapa Harbor Hospital, a critical access hospital is the nearest hospital CMS lists, in South Bend itself.
