What public records show for food service in Elk Run Heights
Past emergency
Elk Run Heights and DR-4289
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4289, severe storms and flooding, on October 31, 2016 for Black Hawk County, which includes Elk Run Heights, for an incident that began September 21, 2016. It is one of 8 major disaster declarations covering Black Hawk County since 2000. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Elk Run Heights stays closed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Elk Run Heights
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "(PW# 240) BHPOC46-roads" (roads and bridges, about $168,000) in Black Hawk County after DR-4289, a flood declared October 31, 2016; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Elk Run Heights, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Elk Run Heights
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Elk Run Heights does not have to stop meal service: a kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can run beside the building for the length of the job.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Elk Run Heights
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Elk Run Heights'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 public high school cafeteria in Elk Run Heights plans 4 months of work gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft 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. 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
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
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $27,560 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
