Helpful Resources for Members Directly Affected by the Flooding
March 22, 2019
We are saddened to hear of the devastation caused by recent flooding in Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and throughout the Midwest. We are keeping a close eye on any announcement from the federal regulatory agencies regarding branch closures or relief—while the agencies do not yet appear to have issued anything official, we will be sure to notify you once we hear of anything. In the meantime, here are some helpful resources for any member banks that may be directly affected by the flooding or are interested in setting up relief funds for their communities:
- OCC Bulletins 2012-28 and 2017-61 (prior Interagency Guidance on Natural Disasters)
- FFIEC IT Handbook: Business Continuity Plan Components
- FinCEN Advisory for Disaster-Related Fraud
- IRS Disaster Relief Resources for Charities and Contributors
- CFPB Page on Disasters and Emergencies (for consumers)
