USPS employees can call a hotline after an emergency to report their condition and receive updates on their reporting status.

To help mark National Preparedness Month in September, the Postal Service is encouraging employees to take steps to be ready at a moment’s notice.

Employees should:

• Update their emergency contact information.

• Be familiar with the USPS National Employee Emergency Hotline (888-363-7462). Employees can call the hotline after an emergency to report their condition and check for changes in their scheduled work reporting status.

• Review posted emergency procedures and evacuation routes.
