In bio attack, US Post Office could distribute aid: "The US Post Office could play a key role in distributing medical aid in the event of a biological attack, according to an executive order released by the White House on Wednesday.
The order signed by President Barack Obama directs government agencies, local law enforcement and the US Post Office to work on a model for distribution of medical countermeasures in the wake of a biological attack.
'This policy would seek to: (1) mitigate illness and prevent death; (2) sustain critical infrastructure; and (3) complement and supplement State, local, territorial, and tribal government medical countermeasure distribution capacity,' the order said."
