What public records show for food service in Union County
Past emergency
FEMA's 2024 declaration for Union County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4779, severe storms and tornadoes, on May 14, 2024 for Union County, for an incident that began April 26, 2024. It is one of 10 major disaster declarations covering Union County since 2000. Tornado damage can leave a building's kitchen unusable while repairs are made. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Union County stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Union County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Completed Crushed Limestone Roads - Civil Township of Grant, Highland, and Lincoln" (roads and bridges, about $351,000) in Union County after DR-4421, a severe storm declared March 23, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Union 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 Union County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Red Iron building and Trailers" (buildings and equipment, about $630,000) in Union 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 Union County can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Union County
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Union 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 Union County would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Afton and Arispe. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: the county school division's central kitchen in Union County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Union 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
Suppose the county school division's central kitchen in Union County is damaged by high winds in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4779 (severe storms and tornadoes, declared May 14, 2024). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.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
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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
