The Postal Service is reminding employees and contractors to use the USPS National Emergency Hotline number to receive up-to-date information about facility closings, changes in reporting times and other workplace information during severe and inclement weather.
The toll-free number, found on the back of most USPS employee badges, is 888-EMERGNC (888-363-7462).
After dialing the number, you will be prompted to enter the first three digits of the ZIP Code where you work. Information specific to operations in your work area will then be relayed.
Hearing-impaired callers who use Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) should call their state’s toll-free TRS number. The operator will interact with the USPS emergency hotline on the caller’s behalf.
