NEW
ORLEANS, April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage to
residents impacted by the tornadoes and flooding affecting much of
southern Louisiana, including the
New Orleans metro area.
Severe weather has brought fierce winds and heavy rains to the
region. A tornado caused widespread damage in Slidell and eastern St. Tammany Parish. New Orleans declared a flash flood
warning.
With some families displaced and others facing home repairs,
access to dry and secure self-storage rooms during the
clean-up process is essential for communities affected by natural
disasters.
"The damage from these tornadoes and storms is significant,"
stated Patrick Allen, U-Haul Company
of Southern Louisiana president.
"As our neighbors face cleaning up or repairing their homes, we are
extending one month of free storage to anyone who needs it. It's
the least we can do to help during a difficult time."
Ten stores are available to provide 30 days of free storage
services. The U-Haul disaster relief program applies to new storage
rentals and is based on availability. People seeking more
information or needing to arrange free self-storage should contact
their nearest participating facility (alphabetized by city):
