What public records show for food service in Clear Lake
Past emergency
FEMA's 2023 declaration for Deuel County
FEMA has made 12 major disaster declarations for Deuel County since 2000; the latest, DR-4689, severe winter storms and snowstorm, was declared on February 27, 2023 after an incident that began December 12, 2022, and it covered Clear Lake. Winter storms cut power and close roads, and frozen pipes can flood a kitchen. For a school, care home, or shelter in Clear Lake, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Deuel County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "H-D Electric Cooperative-Distribution Lines, Broken Poles and Associated Hardware" (utilities, about $311,000) in Deuel County after DR-4689, a winter storm declared February 27, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Clear Lake, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Clear Lake
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Clear Lake 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 Clear Lake
South Dakota is in FEMA Region 8, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Deuel County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in South Dakota are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Clear Lake would travel I-90 and local routes, as it would for nearby Deuel County and Altamont. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs
Kitchen trailer rental costs in Clear Lake

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Clear Lake
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Clear 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 public high school cafeteria in Clear Lake schedules a 2-month renovation, regrading the floor drains and replacing the dish room, while it keeps serving meals.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-90 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, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 2 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.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, or about $13,780 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
