What public records show for food service in Latimer
Past emergency
Latimer and DR-4784
The most recent federal disaster on record for Franklin County, which includes Latimer is DR-4784, severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, declared May 24, 2024. Franklin County has had 12 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 Latimer stays closed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Latimer
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "APP CERT Franklin County Roads Districts 5 & 7" (roads and bridges, about $129,000) in Franklin County after DR-4421, a severe storm declared March 23, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Latimer, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Latimer that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Latimer
A kitchen renovation in Latimer 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 Latimer
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Franklin 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 Latimer would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Coulter and Franklin County. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Latimer
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Latimer'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 hospital kitchen in Latimer loses power for several days in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4784 (severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, declared May 24, 2024). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft 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 and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
