Recent HPD/DNR email service interruptions
Last weekend (January 15-16), DNR's email server failed causing disruption to many incoming and outgoing email messages. If you have tried to reach someone at HPD via email in the past week and have not received a reply, you may consider resubmitting your messages or calling the addressee to see if they were received. The problem appears to have been corrected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
