JACKSONVILLE, OCALA and TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Three U-Haul Companies are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage over a wide area of Northern Florida to residents who have or will be impacted by Tropical Storm Hermine and the rains that have preceded it.

Parts of Florida have already taken on water from ongoing tropical storms and other counties in the path of Hermine are facing mandatory evacuations, creating the need for safe, secure and dry self-storage options where people can stow their possessions.

Three U-Haul Companies are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage over a wide area of Northern Florida to residents who have or will be impacted by Tropical Storm Hermine and the rains that have preceded it.

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.
