Countless homes in these communities were damaged or destroyed, and a number of lives were lost.

Access to dry and secure U-Haul self-storage rooms and portable storage containers is essential during the recovery process after natural disasters.

Nikki Newton, U-Haul Company of Western Iowa president, has made four facilities available to provide 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box® container usage. The free U-Box offer pertains to on-site storage at U-Haul facilities.
