What public records show for food service in Emmetsburg
Past emergency
Emmetsburg and DR-4796
The most recent federal disaster on record for Palo Alto County, which includes Emmetsburg is DR-4796, severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, declared June 24, 2024. Palo Alto County has had 14 major disaster declarations since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Emmetsburg stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Palo Alto County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Palo Alto County Drainage District - Open Drainage ditches, surface drain pipes, and tile extensions." (water control facilities, about $278,000) in Palo Alto 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. A facility in Emmetsburg that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Emmetsburg
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Upper Des Moines Opportunity, Inc Building and Contents" (buildings and equipment, about $380,000) in Palo Alto County after DR-4796, a flood declared June 24, 2024; 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 Emmetsburg serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Emmetsburg
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Palo Alto County emergency management leads response.

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 Emmetsburg would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Palo Alto County and Cylinder. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Emmetsburg
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Emmetsburg'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 an assisted living community's kitchen in Emmetsburg schedules a 2-month renovation, rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (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. 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
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 2-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.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, or about $23,770 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
