Avoid Disaster Scams

Wednesday August 21, 2024 from 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm ET

Please join the Region 2 National Preparedness Division in partnership with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for a webinar on how to avoid scams post disaster. Extreme weather and natural disasters can occur without warning, leaving you to make critical decisions when you may feel rushed. Scammers try to take advantage of that environment, preying on people before, during, and after disaster events. This webinar, presented by an attorney from the Federal Trade Commission�s Northeast Regional Office, will help you spot, avoid, and report scams that you may encounter as you prepare for, deal with, and recover from extreme weather and other natural disasters. Who should attend: Whole Community, individuals, families, Community and Faith-based Organizations, State, local, tribal, territorial government and the private sector.
