What public records show for food service in Mills County
Past emergency
Mills County and DR-4779
The most recent federal disaster on record for Mills County is DR-4779, severe storms and tornadoes, declared May 14, 2024. Mills County has had 10 major disaster declarations since 2000. Tornado damage can leave a building's kitchen unusable while repairs are made. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Repair projects around Mills County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Permanent Repair of Water Treatment System and Lift Stations" (utilities, about $6.0 million) in Mills 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 Mills 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
Rebuilding public buildings in Mills County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Plattville Pump Station" (buildings and equipment, about $2.3 million) in Mills County after DR-4421, a severe storm declared March 23, 2019; 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 Mills County can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: the county school division's central kitchen in Mills County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Mills 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 the county school division's central kitchen in Mills County is damaged by high winds in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4779 (severe storms and tornadoes, declared May 14, 2024). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.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. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.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.
