Tell your supervisor that your regular job comes first, but that you will gladly organize the storage room if you have free time.
Attempt to organize the storage room and complete your regular work by working faster than normal.
Explain to your supervisor that organizing the storage room is not part of your job. Suggest that she get someone to replace the absent coworkers.
Think up and try different ways to organize the storage room and do your normal work. Ask for help if you fall behind.
Say you will do your best and try to complete everything for an hour. Then give your supervisor an update on how things are going.
