GREEN BAY, Wis., March 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul
Company of Northern Wisconsin and
the Upper Peninsula is offering 30 days of free self-storage and
U-Box® container usage to residents who have been impacted by
flooding in the region.
Steady rains and warming temperatures have sped snowmelt,
causing saturated land to flood and rivers to rise. Homes have
taken on water and a growing number of families are being
displaced, creating a need for dry and secure self-storage where
people can stow their belongings.
"There has been a flood warning in effect for days," said
Justin Kaminski, U-Haul Company of
Northern Wisconsin and the UP
president. "More rain is expected this weekend and the snowmelt
isn't letting up. There are many affected families and we want to
lend a helping hand."
Families seeking additional information or needing to arrange 30
days free self-storage should contact the nearest participating
