What public records show for food service in Cambridge
Past emergency
Cambridge and DR-4942
FEMA has made 12 major disaster declarations for Story County since 2000; the latest, DR-4942, severe storms and flooding, was declared on September 1, 2026 after an incident that began July 1, 2026, and it covered Cambridge. 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
Road and utility work near Cambridge
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "City of Ames 161 kV Transmission Lines" (utilities, about $677,000) in Story County after DR-4784, a tornado declared May 24, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Cambridge, 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
Public building repairs near Cambridge
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "ISU - Compost Facility" (buildings and equipment, about $164,000) in Story County after DR-4557, a severe storm declared August 17, 2020; 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 Cambridge serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Cambridge
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Story 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 Cambridge would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Huxley and Alleman. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Cambridge
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Cambridge'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-4942 (severe storms and flooding, declared September 1, 2026): a hospital kitchen in Cambridge loses power for several days, 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.
