What public records show for food service in Erhard
Past emergency
FEMA's 2011 declaration for Otter Tail County
FEMA has made 5 major disaster declarations for Otter Tail County since 2000; the latest, DR-1982, severe storms and flooding, was declared on May 10, 2011 after an incident that began March 16, 2011, and it covered Erhard. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. For a school, care home, or shelter in Erhard, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Erhard
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Otter Tail County since 2016. Building work can still close a kitchen in Erhard for weeks, and a leased kitchen trailer keeps the facility's own staff cooking on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Erhard
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Erhard 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 Erhard
Minnesota is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Otter Tail 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 Erhard would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby Pelican Rapids and Elizabeth. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Erhard
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Erhard'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
Picture the next event on the scale of FEMA's DR-1982 (severe storms and flooding, declared May 10, 2011): a hospital kitchen in Erhard floods at ground level, and the people it feeds still need their meals.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.
