PODS® Local Provides Flexibility During Storm Restoration

VENTURA, Calif. - Feb. 21, 2023 - PRLog -- Southern California was hit hard by the rain this winter. Near Ojai, more than 17 inches of rain fell in a single day in January, almost reaching the average amount of rain Ventura County gets per year (Ojai Valley News). Santa Barbara received just over 7 inches of rain during a storm in mid-December, a little bit less than half of the average amount of rain per year (Santa Barbara County Public Works Department). When natural disasters strike, homeowners and businesses need help to get back on their feet and repairs underway. PODS® Local offers help to minimize the hassle of clean-up and restoration with on-site containers and flexible scheduling.

• Have easy access to your items – Keep your belongings, materials, or equipment out of the way but close by and easily accessible.
