# Emergency storage in Echuca after a flood, storm or fire

When water comes through the ceiling, a storm takes the roof or a fire damages part of the house, your belongings need to go somewhere safe while the building is dried, assessed and repaired. Echuca, Moama and Rochester know this well; the 2022 floods left many households and businesses along the Murray and Campaspe with contents and nowhere to put them.

**Echuca Storage, 11 Murray Valley Highway, Echuca**, has **300 drive-up units**. Trucks can drive in, staff accept deliveries for customers, and gates are open **8am–8pm, 7 days**. Call **(03) 4410 8566** and tell us what has happened. We will tell you straight what is vacant and how soon you can get in.

### First things first

Safety and your insurer come before storage.

1. **Make sure the property is safe to enter.** Follow advice from emergency services, and from the SES during floods and storms.
2. **Call your insurer** and get a claim number. Ask what they will cover for temporary storage and what paperwork they need from a storage provider.
3. **Photograph everything** before you move it: rooms, damage and individual items.
4. **Separate wet and dry.** Only clean, dry goods should go into storage. Units are not climate-controlled, and anything damp packed into a closed unit can go mouldy. Wet items need drying first, or assessment by your insurer or a restorer.
5. **Keep a list** of what goes into the unit. Your insurer, assessor or restorer may ask for it.

### Who uses emergency storage

- **Households after a flood, storm or burst pipe**, while floors, walls and ceilings are repaired.
- **Families after a house fire**, storing the contents that were saved while the house is rebuilt.
- **Restoration and building companies** that need a place near the job to hold a client’s cleaned contents. Trucks can drive in, and staff accept deliveries; call first.
- **Businesses**, storing stock, equipment and files while premises are repaired. See [business storage](https://echucastorage.net.au/business-storage?hsLang=en-au).
- **Tenants and landlords** sorting contents while a rental is made good.

### Which size?

| Situation | Starting size | Rate (per 4 weeks) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| One or two rooms of contents | 3.0m × 3.0m | $175 |
| A two-bedroom unit or small house | 4.5m × 3.0m | $205 |
| A three-bedroom home | 6.0m × 3.0m | $254 |
| A large home, or contents plus a car | 6.0m × 6.0m | $374 |

Not sure? Use the [storage size guide](https://echucastorage.net.au/storage-size-guide?hsLang=en-au), or call and describe what you have. Every rate is on [sizes and prices](https://echucastorage.net.au/sizes-and-prices?hsLang=en-au), billed every 4 weeks.

### How long will you need it?

Repairs after a flood or fire often take longer than first expected: drying, assessment, quotes, trades and materials all take time. On standard terms there is **no lock-in and no minimum stay**, you are billed every 4 weeks, and you give 4 weeks’ notice when you are ready to leave. So you can keep the unit until the house is ready, then move straight back.

New customers can get the **first 4 weeks for $1**, then the normal rate: 3-month minimum stay, direct debit only, ends 31 Dec 2026. Businesses qualify. If your insurer is paying, check with them which terms suit the claim.

### Moving goods in

- **Every unit is drive-up**, so a removalist, restorer or your own trailer can unload at the door.
- **Trucks can drive in.**
- **Deliveries are accepted.** If a restorer is returning cleaned contents and you can’t be there, staff accept deliveries for customers. Call (03) 4410 8566 first so we know it is coming.
- **Gate hours are 8am–8pm, 7 days.** There is no 24-hour access.

### What can’t go in

Nothing hazardous, flammable, perishable or environmentally harmful, including petrol tins, paint thinner, full gas bottles and chlorine. Food and anything still wet should stay out. If you are unsure, call us.

### Packing damaged-home contents

Wrap furniture in breathable covers, keep everything off the floor on pallets, and leave a gap at the walls so air can move. Our [packing guide](https://echucastorage.net.au/echuca-storage-blog/how-to-pack-a-storage-unit?hsLang=en-au) has more.

### After the emergency

Once the house is repaired, give 4 weeks’ notice and move back in. If the experience has you planning to downsize, renovate or move, see [renovation and decluttering storage](https://echucastorage.net.au/renovation-storage-echuca?hsLang=en-au) and [moving house storage](https://echucastorage.net.au/moving-house-storage-echuca?hsLang=en-au). Need a few months for household overflow? See [household storage](https://echucastorage.net.au/household-storage-echuca?hsLang=en-au).
