CA Fire Evacuees Should Put Temporary Hold On Mail, USPS Says

MALIBU, CA – The U.S. Postal Service is advising residents displaced by the California wildfires to place temporary holds or changes of address on their mail service.

Anyone who will not be able to move back into their home within 30 days should submit a temporary change of address request by filling out a form available online 24 hours a day, seven days a week or at local post offices during business hours. All that's required is a valid email address and valid credit or debit card to pay the associated $1 fee.

Residents who do plan to move back into their homes within the next 30 days have the option of placing a hold mail request instead.

Visit USPS.com for details or call 1(800) 275-8777.
