What public records show for food service in McKinley
Past emergency
McKinley and DR-4797
The most recent federal disaster on record for St. Louis County, which includes McKinley is DR-4797, severe storms and flooding, declared June 28, 2024. St. Louis County has had 8 major disaster declarations since 2000. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. For a school, care home, or shelter in McKinley, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in St. Louis County
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 McKinley
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in McKinley 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 McKinley
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 McKinley would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby Gilbert and Biwabik. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hotel and conference center kitchen in McKinley
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using McKinley'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 McKinley 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 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (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 trailer 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
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 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.
