Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Buena Vista County
FEMA has made 13 major disaster declarations for Buena Vista County since 2000; the latest, DR-4796, severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, was declared on June 24, 2024 after an incident that began June 16, 2024, and it covered Buena Vista County. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Buena Vista County stays closed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Buena Vista County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Buena Vista County Conservation Board - Linn Grove Dam" (water control facilities, about $1.8 million) in Buena Vista County after DR-4796, a flood declared June 24, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Buena Vista County, 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
Rebuilding public buildings in Buena Vista County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Graeber-Rowe Interior and Exterior Damages" (buildings and equipment, about $568,000) in Buena Vista County after DR-4796, a flood declared June 24, 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 Buena Vista County can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a nursing and rehabilitation center in Buena Vista County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Buena Vista County'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 nursing and rehabilitation center in Buena Vista County 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 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Container (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
Within the first day, the facility shares its meal counts and site photos. Equipment ships once placement is confirmed, and the weekly rental continues until the building kitchen reopens.5. Estimated rental cost
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 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.
