LIVINGSTON, Texas, May 3, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is extending its disaster
relief program to flood victims in and around Livingston, making 30 days of free
U-Box® portable moving and storage container usage
available to residents affected by the ongoing rains north of
Houston.
Due to severe flooding this week, many Livingston residents have been evacuated and
may be facing significant water damage to their homes and personal
belongings. Accessibility to mobile storage can aid in the
community's recovery efforts.
"We just want people to know U-Haul is here to help," said
Robert Abidin, U-Haul Company of
Northeast Houston president. "Once
the flooding stops, we anticipate a lot of families dealing with
property clean-up. If any of our impacted neighbors need a U-Box
container for that process, we will gladly offer our portable
storage product at no cost for one month."
The disaster relief offer applies to new U-Box rentals and is
based on availability. People seeking more information or needing
to arrange 30 days of free U-Box container usage should

With 257 cubic feet of storage space and one-ton capacity, U-Box
containers can be delivered to your home or picked up at a U-Haul
facility with our custom-designed trailer. U-Box containers can be
kept on-site or stored in our secure warehouses until you are ready
to pick them up or have them delivered.
In addition to its 30 days free storage disaster relief program,
U-Haul is proud to be at the forefront of aiding communities in
