“We delivered mail to every address we could reach safely on Friday,” said Louisiana District Manager Bruno Tristan, “and we will do the same thing again today.”
Here are the cities inaccessible for delivery and the alternate locations where checks will be available to residents who present government issued identification such as a driver’s license. Customers can come as early as 10 a.m. to pick up their mail at the alternate site.
