Starting Early: Financial Preparation for Disasters and
Emergencies
Tuesday, April 9
3:00 p.m. EDT
Do you have your finances ready in
case a disaster strikes your family, community or business? Starting early to
protect your finances is an important step in all financial elements of your
life; preparing for emergencies is no different. FEMA has been working with its
federal partners and whole community organizations to bring you new and revamped
tools to be financially prepared.
FEMA, the Ready Campaign, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and
Operation Hope are collaborating to bring you a free webinar on financial
preparedness for disasters and emergencies. This is one of many efforts
happening to support “Financial Capability Month” in April and promote
American’s starting early in financial literacy.
This webinar will focus on local
tools, services and assistance available to individuals, faith-based and
community based leaders, private sector organizations and emergency managers.
Presenters will provide information on how to incorporate current and upcoming
financial preparedness tools into local disaster preparedness education efforts
and how to get the community involved in an effort for
communities to start preparing for emergencies early.
In addition, attendees will learn
more about tools and guidance that protects the consumer rights of disaster
survivors. There will also be updates on new and revamped tools and resources to
make being financial prepared easy, including new Ready.gov and MyMoney.gov web pages, an updated version of the Emergency Financial First Aid Kit
and previews of additional financial preparedness tools under
development.
