What public records show for food service in Benton
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Ringgold County
The most recent federal disaster on record for Ringgold County, which includes Benton is DR-4779, severe storms and tornadoes, declared May 14, 2024. Ringgold County has had 10 major disaster declarations since 2000. Tornado damage can leave a building's kitchen unusable while repairs are made. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Benton stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Ringgold County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Rice, Clinton, Benton, & Middle Fork Townships" (roads and bridges, about $149,000) in Ringgold County after DR-4421, a severe storm declared March 23, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Benton, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in Ringgold County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Ringgold County Hospital Buildings" (buildings and equipment, about $289,000) in Ringgold County after DR-4779, a severe storm declared May 14, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Rebuilding takes months, and meals cannot wait that long. A kitchen trailer and a dish trailer let a facility in Benton serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Benton
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Ringgold 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 Benton would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Maloy and Ringgold County. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Benton
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Benton'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-4779 (severe storms and tornadoes, declared May 14, 2024): a hospital kitchen in Benton is damaged by high winds, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft 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-80 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.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.
