USPS service alerts have information for consumers, small businesses and business mailers about postal facility service disruptions caused by weather-related and other natural disasters, special events, or other changes impacting service.

Visit www.ready.gov or www.listo.gov to prepare for hurricanes and severe weather.

Flooding and Severe Weather Impacting Delivery

Hurricanes Helene and Milton, flooding, and severe weather events in North Carolina and Florida may impact the processing, transportation, and delivery of mail and packages. Please allow additional time for final delivery of your item.

Service disruptions

Residential customers and small businesses can find out if mail is being delivered, or if their Post Offices are open. Business mailers get more detailed information about USPS mail processing facilities, and the operating status of delivery units, as well as any impacts on mail delivery overseas.
