California power outages
California’s largest utility is cutting power to parts of the state due to the threat of high winds and extreme fire hazard. Hundreds of thousands of customers of Pacific Gas and Electric are affected, including many Post Office locations. The status and location of the outages are fluid. Customers can expect impacts to retail operations in affected offices. We appreciate your patience as we work to respond to these power outages.
