What public records show for food service in Pottawattamie County
Past emergency
Pottawattamie County and DR-4796
FEMA has made 13 major disaster declarations for Pottawattamie County since 2000; the latest, DR-4796, severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, was declared on June 24, 2024 after an incident that began June 16, 2024, and it covered Pottawattamie County. 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
Repair projects around Pottawattamie County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Pigeon Creek Ditch Banks" (water control facilities, about $708,000) in Pottawattamie 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 Pottawattamie 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 Pottawattamie County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Municipal Garage" (buildings and equipment, about $304,000) in Pottawattamie County after DR-4779, a severe storm declared May 14, 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 Pottawattamie County can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a senior nutrition program's production kitchen in Pottawattamie County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Pottawattamie 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
A senior nutrition program's production kitchen in Pottawattamie County plans 3 months of work rebuilding its walk-in cooler and freezer. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.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
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 3-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.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, or about $65,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
