Previous telephone numbers for the 18 Inspection Service divisions have been replaced with 877-US MAIL 5. This number will forward calls to an Inspection Service division based on the originating area code. If you are using a cell phone during normal business hours, your area code will determine which Inspection Service division is accessed. After normal business hours your call will go to a call center.

If you have questions about any of these publications, contact your district manager, Emergency Preparedness.
