DAYTON OH—The tornado that passed through North Dayton on Memorial Day weekend has destroyed homes, business and left residents devastated. If mailboxes are blocked off and conditions are difficult, letter carriers must always consider safety and accessibility first. Letter carriers are instructed to not deliver to mailboxes and locations which are too hazardous to access.

In those locations where roads are impassable or unsafe for travel due to closure by local emergency officials, mail delivery services are temporarily curtailed until normal conditions are restored. Customers in the following zip codes below can pick up their mail at the corresponding post offices:

Customers are required to provide their delivery address and a valid photo ID in order to pick up their mail.

Residents can also consider downloading Informed Delivery for updates. Informed Delivery is a free and optional notification feature that gives residential consumers the ability to digitally preview their letter-sized mail and manage their packages scheduled to arrive. Informed Delivery benefits the entire household by allowing users to view what is coming to their mailbox whenever, wherever – even while traveling – on a computer, tablet, or mobile device.

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 related questions they may have. 

The Postal Service does not receive tax dollars for operating expenses; it relies entirely on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
