What public records show for food service in Avoca
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Flooding, Straight-Line Winds, And Tornadoes (2024)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4796, severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, on June 24, 2024 for Pottawattamie County, which includes Avoca, for an incident that began June 16, 2024. It is one of 13 major disaster declarations covering Pottawattamie 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
Repair projects around Avoca
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Pigeon Creek Ditch Banks" (water control facilities, about $708,000) in Pottawattamie County after DR-4796, a flood declared June 24, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs to roads, water systems, and utilities like this can cut service to kitchens nearby or change truck access, so we check the route before delivery. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Pottawattamie County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Municipal Garage" (buildings and equipment, about $304,000) in Pottawattamie County after DR-4779, a severe storm declared May 14, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs like this often include the building's kitchen or the power that feeds it. A school or senior center in Avoca can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Avoca
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Pottawattamie 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 Avoca would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Shelby and Walnut. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Avoca
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Avoca'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
Suppose a hospital kitchen in Avoca loses power for several days in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4796 (severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, declared June 24, 2024). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft 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-80 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
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
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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
