What public records show for food service in Clarke County
Past emergency
Clarke County and DR-4779
FEMA has made 7 major disaster declarations for Clarke County since 2000; the latest, DR-4779, severe storms and tornadoes, was declared on May 14, 2024 after an incident that began April 26, 2024, and it covered Clarke County. Tornado damage can leave a building's kitchen unusable while repairs are made. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Clarke County
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Clarke County since 2016. Building work can still close a kitchen in Clarke County for weeks, and a leased kitchen trailer keeps the facility's own staff cooking on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Clarke County
A kitchen renovation in Clarke County usually means new hoods, walk-ins, or floors, and weeks without cooking. A temporary kitchen trailer, booked early, covers that gap.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Clarke County
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Clarke 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 Clarke County would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Osceola and Murray. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a senior nutrition program's production kitchen in Clarke County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Clarke 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
A senior nutrition program's production kitchen in Clarke County plans 4 months of work upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.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
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 4 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.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, or about $63,940 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
