What public records show for food service in Gray
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, And Tornadoes (2022)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4642, severe storms, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, on February 23, 2022 for Audubon County, which includes Gray, for an incident that began December 15, 2021. It is one of 11 major disaster declarations covering Audubon 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 Gray, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Gray
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Self - Cert Gravel Road" (roads and bridges, about $117,000) in Audubon County after DR-4421, a severe storm declared March 23, 2019; 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 crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Gray
A kitchen renovation in Gray 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 Gray
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Audubon 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 Gray would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Templeton and Manning. 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 Gray
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Gray'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 Gray plans 2 months of work replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line. 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), 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, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.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
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $13,780 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
