What public records show for food service in Clay County
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Flooding, Straight-Line Winds, And Tornadoes (2024)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4796, severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, on June 24, 2024 for Clay County, for an incident that began June 16, 2024. It is one of 12 major disaster declarations covering Clay 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 Clay County, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Clay County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Wastewater Treatment Plant" (utilities, about $3.1 million) in Clay County after DR-4796, a flood declared June 24, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Clay 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 Clay County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Grand Avenue Community Outreach Building" (buildings and equipment, about $9.0 million) in Clay 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 Clay County can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Clay County
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Clay 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 Clay County would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Greenville and Spencer. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a nursing and rehabilitation center in Clay County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Clay 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
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4796 (severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, declared June 24, 2024): a nursing and rehabilitation center in Clay County loses power for several days, and the people it feeds still need their meals.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Container (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. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.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
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.
