BASTROP, TX — U.S. Postal Service employees in facilities serving Bastrop County and other areas affected by wildfires will be working around-the-clock to process and deliver mail for our customers.

All Post Offices are expected to be open for business normal hours, unless closed due to mandatory evacuation.

In those locations where roads are impassable or unsafe for travel due to fire or mandatory evacuations, mail delivery services may be temporarily curtailed until normal conditions are restored. Those few customers who are unable to receive mail delivery may pick up their mail at their local delivery Post Office.

Postal customers whose homes have been destroyed by fire should consult their local delivery Post Office as soon as possible to arrange for alternative mail delivery until they can establish a permanent residence.

Customers can call the Postal Service's toll-free number 800-ASK-USPS (800-275-8777) or the TTY number 877-TTY-2HLP (877-889-2457) for help with any postal questions they may have.
