What public records show for food service in McLean County
Past emergency
McLean County and DR-1960
FEMA has made 3 major disaster declarations for McLean County since 2000; the latest, DR-1960, severe winter storm and snowstorm, was declared on March 17, 2011 after an incident that began January 31, 2011, and it covered McLean County. Heavy snow closes roads and can collapse roofs or cut power to institutional kitchens. For a school, care home, or shelter in McLean County, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in McLean County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Severe storm damage to Corn Belt Energy Cooperation2023" (utilities, about $112,000) in McLean County after DR-4728, a severe storm declared August 15, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs to roads, water systems, and utilities like this can cut service to kitchens nearby or change truck access, so we check the route before delivery. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in McLean County
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in McLean County can schedule a temporary commercial kitchen for the work, sized to its menu, meal counts, and the electrical service on site, instead of closing its kitchen.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to McLean County
Illinois is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, McLean 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 McLean County would travel I-55 and local routes, as it would for nearby Towanda and Bloomington. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a nursing and rehabilitation center in McLean County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using McLean County'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
McLean County's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-1960 (severe winter storm and snowstorm, declared March 17, 2011). If a repeat left a nursing and rehabilitation center there unable to cook, the facility would need a working kitchen outside the building within days.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.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.
