Twisters ripped through a number of homes and caused significant damage across a widespread area on Tuesday.

“The storms were devastating to this area, and we want to assist our neighbors,” said Patrick Allen, U-Haul Company of Southern Louisiana president. “Many homes were damaged. Mobile homes were destroyed. Families that suffered losses may need a secure place to store their things until they can get back on their feet. We want to help in any way we can.”

The U-Haul locations participating in the 30 days of free self-storage are listed here. Families needing more information about the self-storage assistance should contact the following U-Haul store nearest you:

U-Haul also can store your U-Box container in our secure warehouses or pick up and deliver it to a location of your choice.

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.
