What public records show for food service in Carson
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Pottawattamie County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4796, severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, on June 24, 2024 for Pottawattamie County, which includes Carson, 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. For a school, care home, or shelter in Carson, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Pottawattamie County
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
Rebuilding public 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. When a public building is repaired after a disaster, its kitchen can be out of service for months. A temporary kitchen on site covers meal service at a school, shelter, or government building in Carson until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Carson
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 Carson would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Macedonia and Oakland. 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 Carson
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Carson'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 hotel and conference center kitchen in Carson 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 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft 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 trailer takes about 5 hours to connect and start up.4. Timeline
Day 1: call the 24/7 line and send photos of the placement area. Next: delivery and setup once placement is confirmed. Then: cooking from the trailer while the kitchen is repaired, extended by the week if repairs run long.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.
