What public records show for food service in Heron Lake
Past emergency
Heron Lake and DR-4797
FEMA has made 8 major disaster declarations for Jackson County since 2000; the latest, DR-4797, severe storms and flooding, was declared on June 28, 2024 after an incident that began June 16, 2024, and it covered Heron Lake. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. For a school, care home, or shelter in Heron Lake, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Heron Lake
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Township Culvert" (roads and bridges, about $341,000) in Jackson County after DR-4797, a flood declared June 28, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Heron Lake, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Jackson County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "City of Jackson Water Treatment Plant" (buildings and equipment, about $135,000) in Jackson County after DR-4797, a flood declared June 28, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Rebuilding takes months, and meals cannot wait that long. A kitchen trailer and a dish trailer let a facility in Heron Lake serve on site until it moves back in.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Heron Lake
Minnesota is in FEMA Region 5, 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 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 Heron Lake would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby Okabena and Wilder. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Heron Lake
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Heron Lake'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 hospital kitchen in Heron Lake 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), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-94 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.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
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.
