Local conditions
What public records show for food service in Jonesboro
Past emergency
Jonesboro and DR-4461
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4461, severe storms and flooding, on September 19, 2019 for Union County, which includes Jonesboro, for an incident that began February 24, 2019. It is one of 7 major disaster declarations covering Union County since 2000. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Jonesboro stays closed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Jonesboro
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "ROADS" (roads and bridges, about $501,000) in Union County after DR-4461, a severe storm declared September 19, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Jonesboro, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Jonesboro
A kitchen renovation in Jonesboro 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 Jonesboro
Illinois is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Union 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 Jonesboro would travel I-55 and local routes, as it would for nearby Anna and Union County. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Jonesboro
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Jonesboro'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
Suppose a hospital kitchen in Jonesboro floods at ground level in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4461 (severe storms and flooding, declared September 19, 2019). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (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. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.5. Estimated rental cost
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 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.
