Planning a kitchen rental in Shelby County, IL
Items marked RECORD come from public FEMA data; items marked SCENARIO are planning examples, not past jobs.
1
Past emergencies in Shelby County, IL
Record FEMA lists 5 major disaster declarations since 2000 covering Shelby County, Illinois. The most recent is severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding (DR-4116), declared May 10, 2013. After a declared disaster, repair crews are booked for weeks. Renting a temporary kitchen and cold storage early keeps a facility serving while it waits its turn.
2
Major construction
Record FEMA Public Assistance funded “Repairs to Damaged Electric Distribution System” (utilities, $117,727) after the severe storm(s) declared August 15, 2023 (DR-4728). Public rebuilding projects also bring crews who need meals. A mobile kitchen with a dish trailer can feed them on site.

K.6Why us
Why kitchens call Commercial Kitchen Emergency 101
A closed kitchen doesn't cancel lunch. Patients, students, residents, and crews still expect meals on time, so the temporary setup has to cook, wash, and keep food cold from day one.
01
Accelerated Deployment
Delivery is timed to the day your kitchen closes, so service doesn't skip a day.
02
24/7 Emergency Service
A person answers the phone at any hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
03
End-to-End Project Support
One contact from the first call to the last day on site.
04
Flexible Rental Solutions
Short-term and long-term terms on the same simple basis: by the week or by the month.
05
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Every unit page lists its equipment, so you know what's inside before delivery.
06
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Access routes, stairs or ramps, and hookups are agreed in advance.
Why clients trust us
We show the details before you call: each trailer's equipment, its power needs where we have them, and its starting monthly price. We work with hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
24/7 emergency line
