U-Haul Expands 30 Days Free Storage Offer after Hurricane Laura
SHREVEPORT, La. (Aug. 28, 2020) — U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents impacted by Hurricane Laura.
Laura, which made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on Wednesday night, delivered a heavy storm surge and wind speeds of up to 132 mph. Now a tropical depression, the storm caused substantial damage across Louisiana and left hundreds of thousands without power.
“The property damage we’re seeing across Louisiana is extensive,” stated Warren Iles, U-Haul Company of Northern Louisiana president. “Some folks are returning to find their homes in disarray. U-Haul is a longstanding member of these communities. We’re here to lend a helping hand during the clean-up and recovery process.”
Ten more U-Haul facilities have been made available to extend disaster relief, in addition to the 12 stores that were announced Thursday to assist Louisiana residents preparing for the storm. Those initial 12 stores continue to offer disaster relief as well. Find that press release here.
