Heavy rains, rising rivers and mandatory evacuations of neighborhoods across several parts of Louisiana have left many residents in dire straits this March.
The U-Haul Companies of Northern Louisiana and Southern Louisiana have responded to our neighbors in need by offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage to flood victims in and around the communities of Alexandria, Baton Rouge, Bossier City, Hammond, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Shreveport and Slidell.
In all, 14 U-Haul-owned storage facilities in these areas are participating in the 30 days free self-storage and U-Box assistance.
“Our role as a hands-on community member is to help however we can, especially during times like these,” added Warren Iles, U-Haul Company of Northern Louisiana president. “We want to offer affected individuals and families a free, dry, secure location to bring their belongings while we all work through this flooding and its aftermath.”

These locations may offer 30 days of free U-Box portable moving and self-storage containers if storage units are unavailable.

U-Haul stores offer needed supplies to help with storm recovery like boxes, tarps, propane and propane tanks. U-Haul urges customers to ensure their tanks are topped off since propane is good to have in the event of long-term power outages.
