With the arrival of hurricane season each year, credit unions know they need to pay more attention to preparing for disasters, particularly to protect members' account records and related information.
I commend the Louisiana League for launching a radio program promoting the role shared branching can play during periods of high storm activity. ("Louisiana League Message: Hurricane Season and Shared Branching," Credit Union Times, May 31). It's a well-timed, precautionary reminder, but it shouldn't stop there.
When destructive weather occurs, credit unions' role as a helpful, caring partner takes on a greater significance. As trusted financial partners, credit unions should consider being members' resource for safeguarding their critical documents, deeds and other personal files. Knowing their important papers are securely stored online – and are easily accessible – can be invaluable when the physical documents are destroyed, lost or compromised in the aftermath of a physical disaster.
