What public records show for food service in Lake St. Louis
Past emergency
FEMA's 2022 declaration for St. Charles County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4665, severe storms and flooding, on August 8, 2022 for St. Charles County, which includes Lake St. Louis, for an incident that began July 25, 2022. It is one of 10 major disaster declarations covering St. Charles County 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 Lake St. Louis, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Lake St. Louis
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Schaefer Place Detention Basin" (water control facilities, about $617,000) in St. Charles County after DR-4665, a severe storm declared August 8, 2022; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Lake St. Louis, 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
Public building repairs near Lake St. Louis
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Wentzville City Hall" (buildings and equipment, about $105,000) in St. Charles County after DR-4665, a severe storm declared August 8, 2022; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs like this often include the building's kitchen or the power that feeds it. A school or senior center in Lake St. Louis can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Lake St. Louis
Missouri is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, St. Charles County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Missouri are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Lake St. Louis would travel I-70 and local routes, as it would for nearby Josephville and O'Fallon. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Lake St. Louis
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Lake St. Louis'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
An assisted living community's kitchen in Lake St. Louis plans 3 months of work replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Container (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-70 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
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 3 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.5. Estimated rental cost
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $47,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
