In calendar weeks 37 and 38 of 2024, Vienna and Lower Austria were hit by devastating floods. Many people were suddenly faced with the challenge of protecting their valuables and furniture from damage.

Free storage space for salvaged items
“We offer free space in our storage rooms for items that need to be salvaged or for which there is no room at the moment, for example during a renovation,” says Dominik Schramek from STORE ROOM.
This initiative aims to provide local people with an uncomplicated way to store their belongings safely while they rebuild their homes. The offer is valid for six weeks and can be taken up without a deposit. For those who require assistance beyond this period, STORE ROOM plans to offer at least 50% off the regular rates.
Transport aids for a smooth process
To make it easier for those affected to transport their belongings, STORE ROOM also provides large vans free of charge.
“These can be made ready for collection in Brunn am Gebirge at any time and are available for as long as they are needed,” adds Schramek.
STORE ROOM is also in contact with a relocation partner to clarify whether they can also provide support with vehicles or employees.
“This would give us additional transport resources and even muscle power for putting things away,” Schramek continues.
Together through the crisis
With this initiative, STORE ROOM demonstrates the importance of solidarity and mutual support during times of crisis.
By offering free storage and transportation assistance, STORE ROOM makes a small but meaningful contribution to helping those in need. This gesture not only provides practical relief, but also fosters a sense of community and care, showing that even in challenging times, there are ways to help one another and make a positive impact.
In addition to offering immediate support, this initiative also helps individuals and businesses regain stability by easing logistical burdens. By focusing on the essentials—like providing safe storage and helping with transportation—STORE ROOM allows people to focus on recovery and rebuilding, knowing their belongings are in good hands. This practical assistance plays a vital role in overcoming short-term challenges and contributes to long-term resilience.
