GPO Assists FEMA in Hurricane Gustav Response

WASHINGTON, DC—09/02/08—Hurricane Gustav hits the Gulf Coast and the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) is helping the Federal Government respond to this natural disaster. In preparation for the hurricane, The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is once again turning to GPO and the GPOExpress program for printing communication materials during response and recovery efforts. The program is in collaboration with FedEx Office (formerly FedEx Kinko’s), which uses state-of-the-art technologies to support printing needs for all three branches of the Federal Government. This nationwide convenience printing agreement allows Federal Government personnel to place orders at any of the 1,700 FedEx Office Print and Ship Centers. In this situation, FEMA officials can place print orders from their offices to any FedEx Office location throughout the country to get fliers, brochures and forms to residents in the affected areas.
