What public records show for food service in Pana
Past emergency
Pana and DR-4728
The most recent federal disaster on record for Christian County, which includes Pana is DR-4728, severe storms and flooding, declared August 15, 2023. Christian County has had 5 major disaster declarations since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Pana stays closed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Pana
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Christian County since 2016. Building work can still close a kitchen in Pana for weeks, and a leased kitchen trailer keeps the facility's own staff cooking on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Pana
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Pana 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 Pana
Illinois is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Christian 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 Pana would travel I-55 and local routes, as it would for nearby Tower Hill and Oconee. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Pana
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Pana'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
A public high school cafeteria in Pana plans 4 months of work rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.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. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.4. Timeline
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 4 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.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, or about $47,540 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
