Planning a kitchen rental in Ralston, IA
Items marked RECORD come from public FEMA data; items marked SCENARIO are planning examples, not past jobs.
1
Past emergencies in Ralston, IA
Record FEMA lists 6 major disaster declarations since 2000 covering Carroll County, which includes Ralston. The most recent is severe storms and flooding (DR-4421), declared March 23, 2019. Storms and floods of that scale often damage kitchens below grade or knock out gas and power. A kitchen trailer rental parked near the dock can carry food service until the building is safe.
2
Major construction
Record FEMA Public Assistance funded “Self-Certification Secondary Roads #1” (roads and bridges, $118,212) after the severe storm(s) declared March 23, 2019 (DR-4421). Public rebuilding projects also bring crews who need meals. A mobile kitchen with a dish trailer can feed them on site.
3
Kitchen renovation
ScenarioA nursing home in Glidden renovating its kitchen still serves three meals a day. It could rent a kitchen trailer for the build and add a dish trailer to keep using real plates.
4

During a declared emergency in Ralston, Iowa, Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management and local officials direct public relief logistics, staging, and road access. Our deliveries are separate private arrangements: we confirm the route, site entrance, and placement with you and follow any access limits officials publish.
