NCUA announced today that it has put its disaster relief policy into effect to help credit unions and their members impacted by the California wildfires.

Conditions have improved in San Diego, and although hundreds of homes are still threatened, many credit unions in the county are open for business.

Washington Credit Union League Senior Vice President and General Counsel Stacy Augustine said that the league plans to let the private insurance issue cool down a bit before the group pursues necessary legislative changes.

As the fires in Southern California rage on, Matadors Community Credit Union is doing its part to help out the victims.
