What public records show for food service in Gladbrook
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Tama County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4784, severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, on May 24, 2024 for Tama County, which includes Gladbrook, for an incident that began May 20, 2024. It is one of 10 major disaster declarations covering Tama 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 Gladbrook, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Gladbrook
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Bridge on Abbott Avenue - Tama County Highway Department" (roads and bridges, about $1.5 million) in Tama County after DR-4784, a tornado declared May 24, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Gladbrook, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Gladbrook
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Fire & EMS Station Building, Equipment, and Contents" (buildings and equipment, about $232,000) in Tama County after DR-4784, a tornado declared May 24, 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 Gladbrook until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Gladbrook
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Tama 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 Gladbrook would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Lincoln and Beaman. 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 Gladbrook
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Gladbrook'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
An assisted living community's kitchen in Gladbrook plans 3 months of work regrading the floor drains and replacing the dish room. 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. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen trailer once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 3 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 $20,670 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
