What public records show for food service in Lafayette
Past emergency
Lafayette and DR-1766
FEMA declared major disaster DR-1766, severe storms, flooding, and tornadoes, on June 8, 2008 for Tippecanoe County, which includes Lafayette, for an incident that began May 30, 2008. It is one of 6 major disaster declarations covering Tippecanoe County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Lafayette
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Tippecanoe County since 2016. When construction near a hospital, school, or care home in Lafayette cuts utilities or closes a kitchen in phases, a facility could lease a mobile kitchen trailer and a dishwashing trailer for the length of the work.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Lafayette
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Lafayette 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 Lafayette
Indiana is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Tippecanoe 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 Lafayette would travel I-65 and local routes, as it would for nearby Tippecanoe County and West Lafayette. 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 Lafayette
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Lafayette'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 Lafayette plans 3 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 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-65 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
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 3-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.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, or about $65,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
