ALEXANDRIA, Va. — NCUA Chairman JoAnn Johnson reminded credit unions to prepare their members for hurricane season during National Hurricane Preparedness Week this week.

"Education is vital in order to best prepare Americans for hurricanes and other emergencies," Johnson said. "As Chairman of the MyMoney.Gov website subcommittee, I worked to highlight the helpful educational resources included on the web site. During Hurricane Preparedness Week, these resources will be featured on the main page of the website."

NCUA is also ensuring its shop is prepared by improving its contingency processes for information reporting and communication based upon lessons learned from government-wide exercises, contingency operations, and cross-agency working groups. The agency will continue to train its staff to ensure they are ready to respond. Last year, NCUA updated its examination program last year to ensure contingency planning.

"During my visits to the Gulf Coast region, I have witnessed firsthand the volunteer spirit which is demonstrated by America's credit unions and I commend you for your dedication and commitment to your members and the community," Johnson observed.
