At least one government agency seems to be on the ball.

The Postal Service
is asking customers unable to receive delivery at their permanent address to file a change of address. The quickest and easiest way to do this is electronically.

Customers who have computer or telephone access should utilize the Postal Service’s Internet or Telephone Change of Address option. Electronic change of addresses can be filed online at www.usps.com or by calling 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777).

Hurricane victims in areas without telephone service or internet access should go to the nearest post office, complete a change-of-address form, and submit it to a postal Retail Associate at the counter or mail it – it’s postage free.

To date [9/5/05], more than 36,000 hurricane victims have filed a Change of Address.
