What public records show for food service in St. Donatus

  1. Past emergency

    St. Donatus and DR-4796

    FEMA declared major disaster DR-4796, severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, on June 24, 2024 for Jackson County, which includes St. Donatus, for an incident that began June 16, 2024. It is one of 14 major disaster declarations covering Jackson 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 St. Donatus, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.

  2. Major construction

    Road and utility work near St. Donatus

    FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Jackson County S. Sabula Causeway Rd & Spruce Creek Rd" (roads and bridges, about $136,000) in Jackson County after DR-4421, a severe storm declared March 23, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches St. Donatus, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A facility in St. Donatus that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.

  3. Major renovation

    Kitchen renovations in St. Donatus

    Remodeling a commercial kitchen in St. Donatus does not have to stop meal service: a kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can run beside the building for the length of the job.

  4. Emergency equipment access

    Getting equipment to St. Donatus

    Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Jackson 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 St. Donatus would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby La Motte and Zwingle. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

  5. Local rental costs

    Kitchen trailer rental costs in St. Donatus

    Starting monthly rates on our current price list: mobile kitchen trailers $4,995 / month, dishwashing trailers $4,995 / month, and refrigerated trailers $1,895 / month. Delivery to St. Donatus, setup, and pickup are quoted for your site, including the distance from Virginia. See the full price reference.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project

Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in St. Donatus

A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using St. Donatus'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. 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 hospital kitchen in St. Donatus loses power for several days, and the people it feeds still need their meals.
  2. 2. Trailer setup

    A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.
  3. 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. 4. Timeline

    First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.
  5. 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.
