Severe storms and tornadoes have recently devastated communities which credit unions serve. As we mentioned in our previous post—Concern for Community: Credit unions and post-disaster community recovery—there are several disaster recovery resources available to credit unions.

Today we’d like to share another resource.

CUNA Strategic Services (CSS) and Agility Recovery—a CSS provider—are teaming up to help leagues prepare their credit unions before, during, and after a tornado strikes. See below for the message Wes Millar, CSS Senior Vice President, sent to credit union leagues Friday afternoon and click the link to download the Tornado Preparedness Checklist.

Are your credit unions prepared for severe weather?

According to AccuWeather.com, it appears the severe weather that has devastated communities from the Plains into the East over the past few weeks is going to continue.

Credit unions need to take steps to mitigate risks and protect their assets.  Agility and CUNA Strategic Services has provided a Tornado Preparedness Checklist for you to share with your credit unions.

Attached you will find a message ready to post to your website and include in your upcoming newsletters that will provide valuable tornado preparedness information.
