Six stores are participating in U-Haul disaster efforts
after Monday night's powerful storms
TULSA,
Okla., May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free
self-storage and U-Box® container usage to
residents impacted by tornado damage in Barnsdall, Bartlesville and other areas of northeast
Oklahoma.
Tornadoes directly hit Barnsdall and Bartlesville late Monday, leaving those
communities ravaged and without power. News reports indicate more
than 30 homes were leveled from the storms. Several residents
suffered injuries and there was at least one fatality.
Access to dry and secure
U-Haul self-storage rooms and portable storage
containers is essential for communities following natural
disasters.
Jim Smith, U-Haul Company of
Tulsa president, has made six
facilities in nearby Tulsa and
Broken Arrow available to
help.
"The aftermath of this tornado will be felt for some time, and
U-Haul just wants to help however possible," Smith stated. "The
clean-up and rebuild process is difficult. If our storage solutions
can make it a little easier on Oklahoma families, we're here to provide that
at no cost for one month."
U-Box containers can be delivered to and picked up from
residential locations as part of the disaster relief program. The
30-day free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and
is based on availability.
