What public records show for food service in Peterson
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Flooding, Straight-Line Winds, And Tornadoes (2024)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4796, severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, on June 24, 2024 for Clay County, which includes Peterson, for an incident that began June 16, 2024. It is one of 12 major disaster declarations covering Clay County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. For a school, care home, or shelter in Peterson, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Peterson
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Wastewater Treatment Plant" (utilities, about $3.1 million) in Clay County after DR-4796, a flood declared June 24, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Peterson, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Clay County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Grand Avenue Community Outreach Building" (buildings and equipment, about $9.0 million) in Clay County after DR-4796, a flood declared June 24, 2024; 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 Peterson can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Peterson
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Clay 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 Peterson would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Linn Grove and Sutherland. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hotel and conference center kitchen in Peterson
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Peterson'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
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-4796 (severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, declared June 24, 2024): a hotel and conference center kitchen in Peterson loses power for several days, and the people it feeds still need their 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
Within the first day, the facility shares its meal counts and site photos. Equipment ships once placement is confirmed, and the weekly rental continues until the building kitchen reopens.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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
