What public records show for food service in Hardy
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Flooding, Straight-Line Winds, And Tornadoes (2024)
FEMA has made 13 major disaster declarations for Humboldt County since 2000; the latest, DR-4796, severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, was declared on June 24, 2024 after an incident that began June 16, 2024, and it covered Hardy. 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 Hardy, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Hardy
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Corn Belt Power Coop - Poles and Associated Hardware" (utilities, about $728,000) in Humboldt County after DR-4784, a tornado declared May 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. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Humboldt County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) Reactor Building Roof and Turbine Building Siding Damage (10% cost share)" (buildings and equipment, about $182,000) in Humboldt County after DR-4557, a severe storm declared August 17, 2020; 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 Hardy serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Hardy
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Humboldt 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 Hardy would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Renwick and Lu Verne. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hotel and conference center kitchen in Hardy
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Hardy'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 a hotel and conference center kitchen in Hardy loses power for several days in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4796 (severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, declared June 24, 2024). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.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
Day 1: call the 24/7 line and send photos of the placement area. Next: delivery and setup once placement is confirmed. Then: cooking from the trailer while the kitchen is repaired, extended by the week if repairs run long.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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
