What public records show for food service in Lee County
Past emergency
FEMA's 2023 declaration for Lee County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4732, flooding, on August 25, 2023 for Lee County, for an incident that began April 24, 2023. It is one of 14 major disaster declarations covering Lee County since 2000. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Lee County stays closed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Lee County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Severe siltation from flooding in Marina. Dredge over 3.5' of silt material." (water control facilities, about $1.9 million) in Lee 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 Lee County, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Lee County
A kitchen renovation in Lee County 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 Lee County
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Lee 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 Lee County would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Franklin and Donnellson. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a senior nutrition program's production kitchen in Lee County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Lee County'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 senior nutrition program's production kitchen in Lee County schedules a 4-month renovation, replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.4. Timeline
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 4-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.5. Estimated rental cost
40ft Bulk Kitchen $10,995 + 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer $6,995 + 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $3,995 = $21,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $87,940 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
