Summary

Disasters may be unpredictable—but USPS’s response isn’t. In this episode, USPS Director of National Preparedness, Rae Ann Haight, joins our hosts to discuss how preparedness efforts across the organization help ensure that nothing halts the mission of delivering mail, and shares real-life stories of USPS response to disaster situations. Whether facing floods or cyberattacks, planning, training, and coordination enable action when it matters most.
