SAN ANTONIO, TX — Today the U.S. Postal Service Rio Grande District will resume providing postal services on a limited basis, including some mail delivery and collections, and retail services at Post Offices recently affected by Hurricane Harvey where possible in Texas ZIP code areas beginning with 779, 783 and 784, which includes Corpus Christi, TX, and the surrounding Texas Coastal Bend area.

The Postal Service urges customers interested in information about a specific Post Office to call 1-800 ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777). Operators have been provided specific information regarding delivery and retail services for each office in the areas affected by the hurricane.

“Postal Service employees are making every effort to provide service as soon as possible to all of our customers in the areas affected by the storm.  Today, we will begin providing regular postal services in Corpus Christi and the surrounding area as local circumstances permit, and where we can ensure the safety of our customers and employees,” said Rio Grande District Manager Steven Hernandez.  “We sincerely appreciate our customers’ understanding and cooperation as we recover from the storm.”

In order to assure mail delivery to your affected area, please observe the following:

  • If your mailbox is badly damaged or destroyed, please replace it with a secure, USPS approved receptacle with your address clearly displayed in order for your letter carrier to leave your mail at your residence. Mail cannot be delivered unless an appropriate receptacle is provided.
  • If your residence is uninhabitable, please contact your delivery Post Office to request a 30-day hold on your mail. You should complete a Change-of-Address card to facilitate the delivery of your mail to a valid temporary or new permanent address.  Change-of-Address cards are available at your local Post Office. Change of address information can be also filed on the Postal Service website at www.usps.com
  • If you file a temporary change of address, be sure to cancel it once you return to your residence or if you file a new temporary or permanent change of address.

Postal Service employees in the hurricane affected area are being advised to check for changes to their scheduled work reporting status by contacting the USPS National Emergency Notification Hotline to determine if any special instructions have been issued. The toll-free Hotline number for U.S. Postal Service employees is: 1-888-363-7462. Postal employees are reminded that it is critical they use the USPS National Employee Emergency hotline not only to obtain information on their facility status, but to use Option #5 to report their condition as well.
