Beauregard, AL — The U.S. Postal Service is reconnecting tornado victims with their mail.

The vast majority of deliveries are being made where it is safe and accessible to do so. If your mailbox was badly damaged or destroyed, please provide a secure receptacle with your address clearly displayed in order for your letter carrier to leave your mail at your residence. Mail cannot be delivered unless a receptacle is provided. Or with proper identification, you may pick up your mail at your local Post Office. 

Our letter carriers deeply care about their customers and are concerned about their welfare. Please help our carriers by limiting your questions and allowing them to deliver the mail to the community. Remember they are diligently working through many obstacles. If you have any questions regarding mail delivery, you can contact our hotline at 1-800-ASK-USPS (275-8777).
