Does Post Office need climate plan?

The Hill:

The Obama administration released thousands of pages on Friday documenting federal agencies’ vulnerabilities to climate change and what those agencies plan to do about it.

 

In all, 38 agencies released climate change adaptation reports and sustainability plans to address climate threats and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the federal government.

 

The Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Postal Service and others charted threats climate change may have on their operations, and crafted plans to mitigate it.

“These agency climate plans underscore the Administration’s commitment to leading by example throughout the Federal Government so we can leave behind a planet that is not polluted and damaged and protect our ability to provide the vital services American communities depend on,” Mike Boots, head of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said on Friday.

The federal government has 360,000 buildings and 650,000 vehicles — a significant chunk of which are likely covered under the 38 agencies that took part in the planning.

No two agencies' risks in dealing with climate change are alike, according to the documents.

The Postal Service is worried about “increased flooding, rising sea levels and more intense weather events” that could “disrupt its ability to provide mail service and increase costs for maintaining infrastructure.”
