JACKSON, Miss., Feb. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® is offering
30 days of free self-storage to flood victims in and around
Jackson as the Pearl River
continues to overflow.
Many roads in Jackson have
taken on water and the city is under a state of emergency.
Residents living near the reservoir have been asked to
evacuate.
"The Pearl River is expected to
crest several feet above the flood stage, and many residents will
continue be affected," said Dick
Porter, U-Haul Company of Mississippi president. "This type of disaster
creates an immediate need for dry, secure facilities where our
neighbors can store their belongings. U-Haul is here to help by
making select stores available at no cost for one month."
U-Haul Company of Mississippi
has made six facilities available to offer its disaster relief
assistance program. People seeking more information or needing to
