General Information

President Bush has declared May 20 through May 26 as National Hurricane Preparedness Week. This week is an opportunity to raise awareness of measures Americans can take to protect their families and finances in the event of these weather related emergencies. NCUA is continually making strides to strengthen its readiness in the event of a hurricane. Recently, the agency improved its contingency processes for information reporting and communication based upon lessons learned from government-wide exercises, contingency operations, and cross-agency working groups. Additionally, the agency will continue to train its staff to ensure they are prepared, knowledgeable, and ready. NCUA updated its examination program last year to ensure all credit unions are prepared for potential emergencies.
