GOT MAIL????

Got Mail?   In the past couple weeks, when we asked about mail delivery we were given a variety of different answers from difference sources.  It is heloful to have the some information coming from our postmaster.  This does not address all concerns -- especially for people who may not have access to their PO Boxes or General Delivery.  Those issues and questions need to be raised by residents so we all get the best services we can.  

 

The Postal Service management in Honolulu is closely monitoring the flow, because the situation is fluid, we have not made any final decisions regarding how we might provide mail delivery to customers impacted by the flow.

In the case of Pahoa, our ultimate decision regarding whether to deliver via alternate routes would balance employee safety concerns, the availability of resources and customer service.

Should the flow require an evacuation of our Pahoa Post Office, our preliminary plans are to use the Hilo Post Office as our base of operations. We have taken actions to prepare logistically for that possibility.

The bottom line is that regardless of how this lava flow event plays out, the mail will be delivered. We will find a way to get it done.

Along with everyone else, we're hoping the flow threat will dissipate before it impacts our customers and our service.

Mahalo,
