Tornado Recovery: 30 Days Free Self-Storage in Alabama and Georgia

Mar 4, 2019

U-Haul® Companies of Central Alabama and Southern Georgia are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage after several destructive tornadoes tore through the states on Sunday evening.

The storms toppled trees, power lines and buildings, and numerous homes were destroyed. Much of the destruction occurred in Lee County, Ala.

“Some of our neighbors came home on Sunday night, only to find their homes in shambles,” stated Scott Fall, U-Haul Company of Central Alabama president. “As a caring member of these communities, we want to make sure these families have a secure place to store their belongings as the recovery process begins.”

Participating Locations

Two U-Haul facilities have been made available to provide disaster relief. Families seeking additional information or needing to arrange for 30 days free self-storage should contact the nearest participating facility:

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.
