What public records show for food service in Alexandria
Past emergency
FEMA's 2022 declaration for Douglas County
FEMA has made 6 major disaster declarations for Douglas County since 2000; the latest, DR-4666, severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes, and flooding, was declared on August 9, 2022 after an incident that began May 29, 2022, and it covered Alexandria. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Alexandria stays closed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Alexandria
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "App. Cert. Runestone Electric" (utilities, about $533,000) in Douglas County after DR-4666, a severe storm declared August 9, 2022; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Alexandria, 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
Kitchen renovations in Alexandria
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Alexandria can schedule a temporary commercial kitchen for the work, sized to its menu, meal counts, and the electrical service on site, instead of closing its kitchen.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Alexandria
Minnesota is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Douglas County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Minnesota are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Alexandria would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby Nelson and Douglas County. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Alexandria
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Alexandria'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 public high school cafeteria in Alexandria plans 2 months of work gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.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-94 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 2-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.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, or about $31,970 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
