What's happening to the mail?
Effective immediately, the Postal Service is not accepting any Standard Mail or Periodicals Mail from any source addressed for delivery within the following three-digit ZIP Code ranges: 369, 393, 394, 395, 396, 700, 701 and 704.
This emergency action has been taken as a result of severe facility damage, evacuations and other issues resulting from Hurricane Katrina.
The postal service is now formulating plans to address the handling of Standard and Periodicals Mail already in the mailstream and addressed for delivery to these eight ZIP Code areas.
Express Mail Service has also been suspended in areas damaged by Hurricane Katrina
