Heavy rainfall from Hurricane Lee has flooded parts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with one city declaring a state of emergency as water poured into homes, creating moats around foundations and leading to boat rescues of residents. Concern about a dam listed in poor condition led to more evacuations.
U-Haul® is now offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage at 14 of its locations within Massachusetts and Rhode Island sites where residents may need recovery assistance from flooding
.
“We’ve been dealing with heavy rains all month,” stated Sandie Gardner, U-Haul Company of Rhode Island president. “With more rain in the forecast, along with other weather related to Hurricane Lee, people may need a secure place to store their belongings. This is where U-Haul and our disaster relief program comes into play. We can help our neighbors.”
The U-Haul disaster relief program applies to new self-storage unit and U-Box container rentals and is based on availability.
