A disaster can cause significant financial impact. Your apartment or home may be severely damaged or destroyed. You could be forced to live in temporary housing. Income might be cut off or significantly reduced. Important financial records could be destroyed. Take time now to assess your situation and ask questions of trusted and credentialed financial advisers, such as your insurance agent and banker.
Consider using the Emergency Financial First Aid Kit (EFFAK), a free on-line tool developed by Operation Hope, FEMA and Citizen Corps - or take advantage of an American Red Cross publication called Financial Planning: A Guide for Disaster Preparedness, available at RedCross.org
