U-Haul Companies of Southern Louisiana and Northern Louisiana are offering 30 days of free self-storage to residents who stand to be impacted by Tropical Storm Harvey’s winds and rains.
Harvey is expected to dump at least four inches of rain on New Orleans, and other cities will remain under a flash-flood watch over the next two days.

As a caring member of our communities, U-Haul is assisting by giving families a secure and dry place to store their belongings for 30 days at no cost.”
