Flood Relief: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Self-Storage in Nebraska, Iowa

U-Box portable storage containers also part of disaster relief assistance at 9 U-Haul stores

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (March 14, 2019) — Nine U-Haul® self-storage facilities across Nebraska and Iowa are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents who were impacted by severe storms that hit the area on Wednesday.

Flooding has prompted evacuations and road closures, and caused extensive damage to homes, creating a need for dry and secure self-storage where possessions can be stowed during recovery efforts.

“Floodwaters continue to rise, and our communities could use help,” said Mike Hale, U-Haul Company of Nebraska president. “We want to assist to our neighbors in times of need. We encourage folks to bring their belongings to one of our nearby self-storage facilities until the floodwaters recede.”
