Update: The designated operator of France, La Poste, wishes to inform that a number of its sorting centres and post offices are affected by the wildfires that have been
raging since 22 July in the Gironde (33) and Landes (40) departments, resulting in the closure of certain postal
facilities.
The fires are continuing to spread towards the city of Bordeaux, and more than 310 postal workers have had
to be evacuated as a result.
These incidents are causing significant disruption to all postal operations, including the collection, transport,
processing and delivery of letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items. Some localities remain inaccessible until
further notice.
The postcode areas currently affected are: 33950, 33970, 33138, 33510, 33740, 33148, 33380, 33680, 33121,

Business continuity and assistance measures have been put in place. However, letter, parcel and EMS
operations remain impacted in the following departments: 16 (Charente), 17 (Charente-Maritime), 19
(Corrèze), 23 (Creuse), 24 (Dordogne), 33 (Gironde), 40 (Landes), 47 (Lot-et-Garonne), 64 (PyrénéesAtlantiques) and 87 (Haute-Vienne).
