U-Haul Helps Victims of Hurricane Beryl

Posted by Modern Storage Media on Jul 15, 2024 9:21:38 AM

U-Haul has announced that 71 stores across Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas would be offering free self-storage to victims of Hurricane Beryl. The Atlantic storm made landfall in the United States on July 8 in Texas causing severe flooding and wind damage, with reports of at least seven dead in the Houston region. Additionally, the outer bands of the hurricane produced a tornado outbreak, with tornadoes confirmed in numerous states.

 

"Anytime there is some sort of natural disaster, people need self storage," said Warren Iles, Marketing Company President for U-Haul. "Moving is already stressful enough by itself, but when you add flooding, fires, tornadoes, etc. the stress and expense is already multiplied more than much people can handle."

 

The 30-days offer applies to new self-storage rentals and is based on availability. 

People seeking more details about the U-Haul disaster relief program or needing to arrange storage can call a participating location near them.

 

In addition to its 30 days free self-storage disaster relief program, U-Haul is proud to be at the forefront of aiding communities in times of need as an official American Red Cross Disaster Responder.
