Resources for Consumers

Consumers can find up-to-date information on hurricanes from the National Hurricane Center’s information page. Consumers can also find information on how to prepare for a hurricane and other resources on the Department of Homeland Security’s information page.

The NCUA works cooperatively with state and territory organizations to determine the status of credit unions located in areas affected by natural disasters.
