NEW ORLEANS, June 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents of Jefferson, Orleans and Terrebonne Parishes impacted by flooding.
A low pressure system in southwest Louisiana is causing heavy rains and flash-flood alerts. Residents have been warned to avoid low-lying areas and to move to higher ground.
"Many of the rivers and streams are expected to flood, creating an immediate need for secure self-storage options," said Patrick Allen, U-Haul Company of Southern Louisiana president. "As an essential service provider, U-Haul is here to offer the necessities to our neighbors. We want to make sure their possessions are protected at no cost for one month."
U-Haul has made 12 local facilities available to help. People seeking more information about the U-Haul disaster relief program or needing to arrange 30 days of free self-storage should contact the nearest participating location:
