Because it’s been almost 100 years since the last major hurricane, Florida officials are working harder than ever to convince individuals and businesses to be prepared.
It’s not just physical property that can be damaged by a big storm. Your finances can take a hit too. Have you considered what you would do if your local bank branches were inaccessible because of flooding or structural damage? Banks are required to be prepared to continue banking services in the event of a disaster.
You should take steps to prepare too. Preparations can include enrolling for direct deposit whenever possible and signing up for online banking to give you access to your account information anywhere, any time. Businesses that rely on getting to the bank to deposit checks can set up Remote Deposit Capture that will allow them to deposit checks from their own location electronically.
