What public records show for food service in Murdo
Past emergency
Murdo and DR-4689
The most recent federal disaster on record for Jones County, which includes Murdo is DR-4689, severe winter storms and snowstorm, declared February 27, 2023. Jones County has had 8 major disaster declarations since 2000. Winter storms cut power and close roads, and frozen pipes can flood a kitchen. For a school, care home, or shelter in Murdo, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Jones County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Haakon County Permanent Repairs- West Central Electric" (utilities, about $987,000) in Jones County after DR-4664, a severe storm declared August 2, 2022; 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 Murdo
A kitchen renovation in Murdo usually means new hoods, walk-ins, or floors, and weeks without cooking. A temporary kitchen trailer, booked early, covers that gap.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Murdo
South Dakota is in FEMA Region 8, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Jones 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 Murdo would travel I-90 and local routes, as it would for nearby Jones County and Draper. 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 Murdo
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Murdo'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 Murdo plans 2 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 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft 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-90 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
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 2-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.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.
