The American Red Cross, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the National Endowment for Financial Eduction (NEFE) wants to make sure that you are prepared when the next disaster strikes, not just physically but also financially.

In a joint effort, the three organizations have put together a 52 page guide entitled “Disasters and Financial Planning – A Guide for Preparedness and Recovery” that you can download for free.

The guide contains 6 chapters that cover the following:

Chapter 1: Making a Disaster Plan
Chapter 2: Protecting Your Property
Chapter 3: Protecting Your Health and Life
Chapter 4: Protecting Your Loved Ones
Chapter 5: Protecting Your Records
Chapter 6: Recovering from a Disaster

We can all hope that we never actually have to make use of this document but, if disaster strikes, you’ll have a lot more peace of mind knowing that you are in fact, ready.
