UPS Restoring Service Throughout Gustav Impact Area
DALLAS, Sep 03, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- UPS today said it had restored package delivery service to most
geographic areas touched by Hurricane Gustav.
The company successfully executed its contingency plans and no
facilities or delivery vehicles suffered any substantial damage from the
storm.
There are a few areas that stand as exceptions to the resumption of
service, most notably New Orleans where the city government has yet to
lift its mandatory evacuation order. UPS is prepared to resume service
immediately to and from New Orleans once the company is allowed to send
employees back to the city, even if generators are required to provide
power.
Other areas still awaiting service are located primarily in Louisiana,
including Houma and New Iberia. UPS is maintaining an up-to-date
Hurricane Gustav "service update"
on its main website, http://www.ups.com,
listing the ZIP codes still impacted.
