Union Postale No.4.2020
02.02.2021 — During summer 2020, the Western United States faced a series of horrific firestorms that burnt their way across California, Oregon and Washington followed by other fires on the West Coast. These fires killed around 37 people, and ravaged businesses and homes destroying millions of acres of land. Despite the fires, the United States Postal Service (USPS) managed to deliver the mail. “Into the Furnace,” the cover article, is USPS’s story of how they overcame a fast moving disaster to keep their services running.
