What public records show for food service in Ely
Past emergency
Severe Storms And Flooding (2024)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4797, severe storms and flooding, on June 28, 2024 for St. Louis County, which includes Ely, for an incident that began June 16, 2024. It is one of 8 major disaster declarations covering St. Louis County since 2000. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. 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 Ely
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "County Wide Culvert Damage" (roads and bridges, about $977,000) in St. Louis County after DR-4797, a flood declared June 28, 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
Kitchen renovations in Ely
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Ely 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.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Ely
Minnesota is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, St. Louis 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 Ely would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby Winton and Babbitt. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hotel and conference center kitchen in Ely
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Ely'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 a hotel and conference center kitchen in Ely floods at ground level in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4797 (severe storms and flooding, declared June 28, 2024). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.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. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-94 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.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. 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.
