Past emergency
Severe Storms And Flooding (2026)
FEMA has made 11 major disaster declarations for Polk County since 2000; the latest, DR-4942, severe storms and flooding, was declared on September 1, 2026 after an incident that began July 1, 2026, and it covered Pleasant Hill. 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 Pleasant Hill, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Pleasant Hill
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "IDNR Wildlife - Green Island WMA and Jackson County" (water control facilities, about $225,000) in Polk County after DR-4796, a flood declared June 24, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Pleasant Hill, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A facility in Pleasant Hill that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Pleasant Hill
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "IDHS WRC - Birches" (buildings and equipment, about $207,000) in Polk 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 Pleasant Hill can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Pleasant Hill
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Polk 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 Pleasant Hill would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Altoona and Des Moines. 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 Pleasant Hill
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Pleasant Hill'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 hotel and conference center kitchen in Pleasant Hill loses power for several days in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4942 (severe storms and flooding, declared September 1, 2026). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft 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
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
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 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.
