What public records show for food service in Des Plaines
Past emergency
Des Plaines and DR-4819
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4819, severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and floodng, on September 20, 2024 for Cook County, which includes Des Plaines, for an incident that began July 13, 2024. It is one of 9 major disaster declarations covering Cook County since 2000. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. For a school, care home, or shelter in Des Plaines, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Des Plaines
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Cook County since 2016. Building work can still close a kitchen in Des Plaines for weeks, and a leased kitchen trailer keeps the facility's own staff cooking on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Des Plaines
A kitchen renovation in Des Plaines usually means new hoods, walk-ins, or floors, and weeks without cooking. A temporary kitchen trailer, booked early, covers that gap.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Des Plaines
Illinois is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Cook County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Illinois are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Des Plaines would travel I-55 and local routes, as it would for nearby Mount Prospect and Park Ridge. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Des Plaines
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Des Plaines's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4819 (severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and floodng, declared September 20, 2024): a hospital kitchen in Des Plaines floods at ground level, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-55 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Day 1: call the 24/7 line and send photos of the placement area. Next: delivery and setup once placement is confirmed. Then: cooking from the trailer while the kitchen is repaired, extended by the week if repairs run long.5. Estimated rental cost
40ft Bulk Kitchen $10,995 + 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer $6,995 + 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $3,995 = $21,985 per month on our starting price list for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
