LAFAYETTE, La., Aug. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul Company of Northern Louisiana is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage to residents of Lafayette and surrounding areas who have been impacted by flooding.

Lafayette has taken on considerable water from the ongoing storms and some communities have been evacuated, creating the need for safe, secure and dry self-storage options where people can keep their possessions.

U-Haul Company of Northern Louisiana is offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box container usage to residents of Lafayette and surrounding areas who have been impacted by flooding. U-Haul Moving & Storage of Lafayette at 3700 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy. and U-Haul Moving & Storage at Kaliste Saloom at 700 Kaliste Saloom Road are participating.

"It's been raining the last couple of days and there is more rain in the forecast; it looks like the tail end of a tropical depression is on top of the city," said Warren Iles, U-Haul Company of Northern Louisiana president. "Our U-Haul stores are high and dry, but I know there are closed roads and neighborhoods that are flooded.

"Our role as a caring community member is to help in these situations. We are offering affected individuals and families a secure location to store their effects, free of charge for 30 days."

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