Carbon County, WY Mobile Commercial Kitchen Rentals

Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Carbon County

OpenFEMA lists 3 disaster declarations that include Carbon County, going back to 2011. The most frequent incident types were wildfire (2 declarations) and severe storms (1 declaration). A project that reaches Rawlins should read that page too; it lists the declarations for its county.

The most recent is Mullen Fire (fire management assistance declaration, FM-5375), declared September 26, 2020, with the incident beginning September 25, 2020. Evacuations, smoke damage and power shutoffs can close commercial kitchens and spoil refrigerated stock, while crews and displaced staff still need hot meals. The latest major disaster declaration is Severe Storms, Flooding, and Landslides (DR-4007), declared July 22, 2011. Before that came 316 Fire (FM-5347, September 5, 2020).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 97 county-based event records for Carbon County; high-wind and thunderstorm events account for 94 of them, flood events for 3. Wind events bring down lines and trees, and a kitchen that loses power cannot keep stock cold for more than a few hours.

The National Interagency Fire Center maps 3 wildfires of 1,000 acres or more that started in Carbon County since 2016, together covering about 179,919 acres. The largest was the Mullen fire in 2020, at 176,878 acres. Smoke, evacuations and power shutoffs can close kitchens and spoil stock even when the flames never reach the building.

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

Infrastructure work around Carbon County

USASpending.gov lists 8 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Carbon County since October 2021, worth about $19 million together. In September 2025, the Department of the Interior awarded a $6 million contract for “GAOA Teton Dam Reconstruction” in Carbon County, with work running to November 2026 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $4.3 million Department of the Interior contract, “Little Robber Dam Reconstruction,” starting September 2025 in Carbon County (award record). The Department of the Interior committed $1 million to “Rawlins Field Office Warehouse and Shop Buildings” in Carbon County, awarded October 2021 (award record). Another public record is “Seminoe Switchyard Stage 03,” a $683,000 Department of Energy contract from June 2021 in Carbon County (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 Saratoga, about 1,760 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Major renovation in Carbon County

The Department of the Interior committed $2.1 million to “Kortes Elevator Modernization Build” in Carbon County, awarded September 2023 (award record).

USASpending.gov shows a $1 million Department of the Interior contract, “Wyao - Se PP Roof and Window Replacement,” starting March 2021 in Carbon County (award record). Whoever remodels in Hanna starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?
