ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul Company
of Alaska is making three
facilities available to offer 30 days of free self-storage and
U-Box container usage to residents affected by the Anchorage earthquake.
The magnitude-7.0 earthquake struck Friday morning just outside
of Anchorage, causing major
infrastructural damage to homes, buildings and roads throughout the
city.
"People have had ceilings fall in, furniture fall over and the
safety of their homes compromised," explained John Norris, U-Haul Company of Alaska president.
"This event has created a need for a secure place where people
can stow their belongings while they prepare aftershocks and the
rebuilding process. We want our neighbors to know that we're here
to help. Our disaster relief program is one way we can give back to
the community."
People seeking additional information or needing to arrange for
30 days free self-storage should contact the nearest participating
