What public records show for food service in Marshalltown
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Tornadoes, And Flooding (2024)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4784, severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, on May 24, 2024 for Marshall County, which includes Marshalltown, for an incident that began May 20, 2024. It is one of 10 major disaster declarations covering Marshall County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Public works repair in Marshall County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Marshall County Secondary Roads Embankment Right of Way Slide along 235th Street" (roads and bridges, about $1.0 million) in Marshall County after DR-4784, a tornado declared May 24, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Marshalltown, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Marshalltown that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Marshall County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "South Campus" (buildings and equipment, about $421,000) in Marshall 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 Marshalltown serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Marshalltown
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Marshall 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 Marshalltown would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Marshall County and Haverhill. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Marshalltown
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Marshalltown'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
Marshalltown's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4784 (severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, declared May 24, 2024). If a repeat left a hospital kitchen there unable to cook, the facility would need a working kitchen outside the building within days.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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. 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
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
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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
