DAVENPORT, Iowa, May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® Company
of Eastern Iowa is offering 30
days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage to residents
in Davenport where flooding has
been significant.
A flood barrier along the Mississippi River failed on Tuesday,
sending floodwaters rushing into the city. Many buildings have
taken on water, causing an immediate need for dry and secure
self-storage units where people can bring their possessions.
"The waters in the Mississippi River have been high for weeks
due to heavy rains and snowmelt," said Robert Hampton, U-Haul Company of Eastern Iowa president. "The flooding is
unpredictable and we want to make sure residents know they can
store their belongings with U-Haul for no cost for one month."

self-storage assistance or needing to make self-storage
arrangements should contact:
