What public records show for food service in Carthage
Past emergency
FEMA's 2026 declaration for Rush County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4933, severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, and flooding, on August 25, 2026 for Rush County, which includes Carthage, for an incident that began August 11, 2026. It is one of 6 major disaster declarations covering Rush 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 Carthage, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Carthage
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Rush County since 2016. Building work can still close a kitchen in Carthage for weeks, and a leased kitchen trailer keeps the facility's own staff cooking on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Carthage
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Carthage does not have to stop meal service: a kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can run beside the building for the length of the job.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Carthage
Indiana is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Rush County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Indiana are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Carthage would travel I-65 and local routes, as it would for nearby Knightstown and Dunreith. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Carthage
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Carthage'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
An assisted living community's kitchen in Carthage plans 2 months of work upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft 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-65 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 trailer takes 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 2 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.5. Estimated rental cost
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $13,780 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
