What public records show for food service in Alexander
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Franklin County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4784, severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, on May 24, 2024 for Franklin County, which includes Alexander, for an incident that began May 20, 2024. It is one of 12 major disaster declarations covering Franklin County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. For a school, care home, or shelter in Alexander, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Alexander
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "APP CERT Franklin County Roads Districts 5 & 7" (roads and bridges, about $129,000) in Franklin County after DR-4421, a severe storm declared March 23, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Alexander, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Alexander
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Alexander 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 Alexander
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Franklin County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Iowa are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Alexander would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Rowan and Latimer. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hotel and conference center kitchen in Alexander
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Alexander'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
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4784 (severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, declared May 24, 2024): a hotel and conference center kitchen in Alexander loses power for several days, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (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-80 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, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
