What public records show for food service in Rice County
Past emergency
Rice County and DR-4797
FEMA has made 7 major disaster declarations for Rice 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 Rice County. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. For a school, care home, or shelter in Rice County, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Road and utility work near Rice County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Rice County Gravel Roads and Culverts" (roads and bridges, about $330,000) in Rice County after DR-4797, a flood declared June 28, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Rice County, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Rice County
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Rice County 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 Rice County
Minnesota is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Rice 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 Rice County would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby Faribault and Dundas. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a nursing and rehabilitation center in Rice County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Rice County'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
Rice County's most recent federal disaster was FEMA's DR-4797 (severe storms and flooding, declared June 28, 2024). If a repeat left a nursing and rehabilitation center there unable to cook, the facility would need a working kitchen outside the building within days.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (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. 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
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
40ft Bulk Kitchen $10,995 + 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer $6,995 + 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $3,995 = $21,985 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.
