Typhoon Recovery: U-Haul Offers 30 Days Free Storage across Alaska

ANCHORAGE, Alaska--(BUSINESS WIRE)--U-Haul^® Company of Alaska has made all of its 11 Company facilities across the state available to provide 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box^® container usage to support displaced residents after Typhoon Halong destroyed many Native communities along the western coast.

Hurricane-force winds tore through communities last weekend and delivered storm surges that left more than 1,500 residents without homes, according to reports.

U-Haul Company of Alaska president Courtney Deckard noted that most of the displaced families may not currently have belongings with them, but they will be seeking new living arrangements in the coming weeks and could have a need for free storage services during this difficult transition period.

Access to dry and secure self-storage units and portable storage containers can assist communities during the recovery process following natural disasters.

“Alaska is a community-based state, and it takes our community coming together and supporting each other at a time like this,” Deckard said. “Any small amount we can do is helpful, and our teams are ready to help. Anyone in need of a month of free storage can stop by any of our U-Haul-owned facilities across the state.”

The free offer applies to new self-storage and U-Box rentals and is based on availability at each Company-owned and -operated location. The U-Box portable container offer is for on-site storage at Company facilities; U-Box delivery is available for a modest fee.

People seeking more information on the disaster relief program or needing to arrange storage services can call or visit their nearest participating U-Haul center:
