Storm damage could affect mail delivery.
The Connecticut Valley of the U.S. Postal Service is attempting mail delivery on Monday in communities where it is safe to do so, but it could mean delays in getting letters and packages.
“While the safety of our employees is our primary concern, the old adage, ‘Neither rain nor snow…’ still holds true,” said Connecticut Valley District Manager Kimberly J. Peters. “The Postal Service has delivered mail through every kind of natural disaster for more than 200 years.”
The Postal Service is operating with generators in some locations. Others are working by daylight.
The Postal Service is asking that you remove debris blocking access to your mailbox. If your mailbox is badly damaged or destroyed, 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.
If you can’t stay in your home, complete a change of address card to send your mail to a valid temporary address.
You can manage your mail deliver on the Postal Service Web site.
