RURAL LETTER CARRIERS DELIVERING RURAL ROUTES
....THE BEST ROUTE FOR AMERICA....
Rural Letter Carriers have been America's "Post Office On Wheels" since 1896.
The mailboxes that rural letter carriers serve are a part of the pulse of a nation. They bring happiness and rejoicing, sorrow and tribulation. They help do the work of the nation. Plain and unpretentious, they stand through the cycle of seasons. The simple, everyday rural mailboxes are part of our country's living.
We have played a large role in binding the republic together through two World Wars, the Great Depression, and various national crises. We are a vital and time-honoured part of the American way of life and we will continue to keep the mail moving, providing the same excellent service that all rural patrons deserve and to which they have become accustomed.

USPS POSTAL EMPLOYEES NATIONAL EMERGENCY HOTLINE
You know how it goes: Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat
If your community is facing extreme weather or emergencies like hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes or wildfires and you need to know whether your facility is operating as usual, the Postal Service has a nationwide number you can call to find out.
The USPS National Emergency Hotline is your information lifeline.
Call 1-888-363-7462 to check on facility closings, reporting time changes and other workplace information. Because it's national and outside your immediate area, the hotline works even if local facility phone message systems are down because of power failures or other storm-related damage.
This dedicated toll-free system proved itself during Florida's past hurricane seasons.
When you call, you'll be asked for the first three digits of your work ZIP Code. Then you'll hear your district's operating information.
Deaf or hard-of-hearing callers can use their state Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) toll-free number and the TRS operator will handle the call.
Keep this number handy: 1-888-363-7462. It'll help keep us all on our appointed rounds

Hurricane Helpers
Postal Employees' Relief Fund Offers Employees a Chance to Help.
Hurricane Season is here again and has the potential to cause considerable damage to many areas in Florida and the rest of the Southeastern United States. In years past, many USPS employees went above and beyond the call of duty to get the mail through, many were affected by the storm's high winds and heavy rains. Here's one way you can help, contribute to PERF, the Postal Employees' Relief Fund. PERF was started in 1990 to help employees who were victims of major natural disasters certified by the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) when their losses weren't reimbursed by insurance or grants.
If you'd like to make a contribution to PERF, there are several options available. You can mail a check or money order payable to:
POSTAL EMPLOYEES RELIEF FUND
P.O. BOX 34422
WASHINGTON DC 20043-4422
You can also contribute online via major credit card at www.postalrelief.com. Employees can also select CFC #10268 Postal Employees' Relief Fund as their choice during the Combined Federal Campaign.
If you're an employee in a FEMA-certified disaster area and you're looking for relief, visit http://www.postalrelief.com/guidelines.htm to get information on eligibility criteria. Visit http://www.postalrelief.com/grantapplication.htm for the application form to get the process started.
