ATLANTA, Sept. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Six U-Haul
Companies across Georgia are preemptively offering 30 days of free
self-storage and U-Box container usage to residents who stand to be
impacted by Hurricane Irma.
The Category 4 storm is expected to deliver severe flooding and
is forecast to reach Georgia on Monday. The potential for
disastrous conditions has created an immediate need for secure and
dry self-storage options where people can keep their belongings
before and after Irma arrives.
"This storm is a monster and some forecasts predict a direct hit
on Atlanta," U-Haul Company of
Central Georgia president
Jason Petty said. "U-Haul is a
member of these communities and it is important for us to help. One
way we can do that is by offering 30 days of free self-storage to
our Georgia neighbors who may be affected by this hurricane."
U-Haul Companies of Atlanta North, Atlanta West, Central Georgia, Georgia Northeast, Southern Georgia and Western Georgia have made 21 facilities across
15 cities available to help. Georgians seeking assistance or
needing more information about the 30 days free self-storage
disaster relief should contact the nearest participating facility
