According to San Diego Self Storage Managing Member, Tony Carr, “IRT helps fill the gap for those who are victims of disaster, poverty and neglect.  San Diego Self Storage is at the forefront of disaster relief in California by donating storage space to victims of wildfires and other natural disasters and our sponsorship of this event helps us expand our philanthropic reach into global territories. I have personally immersed myself in hands-on relief efforts spearheaded by IRT, which includes rebuilding homes for underprivileged families during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and have witnessed their professional mobilized response coordination. They are at the forefront of their industry as first responders and in light of a multitude of recent national disasters caused by acts of nature, we are positioned to assist now more than ever to help provide additional resources.”
