Family Disaster Preparedness: April Is National Financial Capability Month

This is the issue that Brock Long stressed as being better than a disaster kit.

Recently, former FEMA administrator Brock Long participated in a Disaster Tough Podcast where he stressed that financial literacy is perhaps the most important aspect of disaster preparedness for individuals and families.

Think about adding financial know-how to your disaster preparedness preparation materials and presentations.
