What public records show for food service in New Chicago
Past emergency
FEMA's 2026 declaration for Lake County
FEMA has made 13 major disaster declarations for Lake County since 2000; the latest, DR-4933, severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, and flooding, was declared on August 25, 2026 after an incident that began August 11, 2026, and it covered New Chicago. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. For a school, care home, or shelter in New Chicago, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in New Chicago
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Lake County since 2016. Building work can still close a kitchen in New Chicago for weeks, and a leased kitchen trailer keeps the facility's own staff cooking on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in New Chicago
A kitchen renovation in New Chicago 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 New Chicago
Indiana is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Lake 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 New Chicago would travel I-65 and local routes, as it would for nearby Lake Station and Hobart. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a nursing home kitchen in New Chicago
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using New Chicago'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 3-month project at a nursing home kitchen in New Chicago, replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line, would leave the building without a usable kitchen from the first day of demolition.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), parked near the loading dock, where staff can move food between the trailers and the serving line.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-65 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen trailer once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.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
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $20,670 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
