Emergency Financial Preparedness Toolkit
A resource for city and county teams to promote financial steps and services that prepare residents for emergencies.
Financial preparedness is a core part of disaster preparedness.
Cities and counties already provide vital resources to residents that help strengthen their finances – tools and programming to build credit, access safe banking, avoid scams, build wealth, and much more. These resources also help residents better weather natural and other disasters from a financial perspective, yet they are typically not thought of as relevant to “emergency preparedness.” As a result, the city or county offices and departments that provide financial empowerment programs are not always collaborating with emergency management teams, even though their work is deeply connected.
