What public records show for food service in Malcom
Past emergency
Malcom and DR-4784
The most recent federal disaster on record for Poweshiek County, which includes Malcom is DR-4784, severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, declared May 24, 2024. Poweshiek County has had 8 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 Malcom stays closed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Malcom
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Poweshiek County SRD Culverts" (roads and bridges, about $181,000) in Poweshiek County after DR-4784, a tornado declared May 24, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Malcom, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Poweshiek County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Roof damages to hospital, Light Center, and Ahrens Medical Arts Building" (buildings and equipment, about $1.4 million) in Poweshiek County after DR-4557, a severe storm declared August 17, 2020; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs like this often include the building's kitchen or the power that feeds it. A school or senior center in Malcom can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Malcom
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Poweshiek 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 Malcom would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Poweshiek County and Brooklyn. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Malcom
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Malcom'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 public high school cafeteria in Malcom schedules a 4-month renovation, gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it, while it keeps serving meals.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. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen trailer takes 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
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $27,560 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
