What public records show for food service in Roland
Past emergency
Severe Storms And Flooding (2026)
FEMA has made 12 major disaster declarations for Story 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 Roland. 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 Roland
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "City of Ames 161 kV Transmission Lines" (utilities, about $677,000) in Story County after DR-4784, a tornado declared May 24, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs to roads, water systems, and utilities like this can cut service to kitchens nearby or change truck access, so we check the route before delivery. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Rebuilding public buildings in Story County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "ISU - Compost Facility" (buildings and equipment, about $164,000) in Story 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 Roland can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Roland
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Story 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 Roland would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Story City and McCallsburg. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Roland
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Roland'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
Roland's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4942 (severe storms and flooding, declared September 1, 2026). 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 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.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
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 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.
