What public records show for food service in La Motte
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Flooding, Straight-Line Winds, And Tornadoes (2024)
The most recent federal disaster on record for Jackson County, which includes La Motte is DR-4796, severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, declared June 24, 2024. Jackson 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 La Motte stays closed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near La Motte
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Jackson County S. Sabula Causeway Rd & Spruce Creek Rd" (roads and bridges, about $136,000) in Jackson 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 La Motte
A kitchen renovation in La Motte 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 La Motte
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Jackson 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 La Motte would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Zwingle and St. Donatus. 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 La Motte
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using La Motte'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 La Motte plans 2 months of work upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen. 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 2 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 $13,780 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
