 USPS California Wildfire Update
Wildfires wreaked havoc in southern California last week, forcing the evacuation and closure of Post Offices throughout the area. All postal operations are now operational. For areas that are still inaccessible, the Postal Service is working with local officials and making mail available at alternate locations.

Alternate mail pick-up locations:

Mail for the following locations:

San Diego District:

• Dulzura (91917)
• Tecate (91980)

Can be picked up at the El Cajon Main Post Office, 401 W Lexington, El Cajon CA 92020.

Mail will be available at the above locations from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Santa Ana District:

The Silverado Post Office, 28251 Silverado Canyon Road, remains closed and evacuated. Mail for Silverado customers is available for pick up at the Orange Post Office, 1075 N. Tustin Street, Orange CA 92863, during regular lobby hours — 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.

The Trabuco Canyon Post Office, 30595 Trabuco Canyon Road, has been evacuated and closed. Mail for the 700 Post Office boxes has been removed and delivery to 50 addresses in the Live Oak Canyon area was prevented because of road closures. Mail is available for customer pick up at the Rancho Santa Margarita Carrier Annex, 29862 Avenida De Las Bandera, Rancho Santa Margarita CA 92688, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Residents are advised that proper photo I.D. will be required to pick up mail.
 


Keep the USPS Posted
The US Postal Service® now requires a minimum duration of 15 days for temporary change of address, with a 185-day maximum. Customers can still obtain temporary change-of-address service for up to one year; however, customers must file a second request with the agency if they require the mail-forwarding service for more than six months. The new standards became effective October 10th.
