What does financial capability have to do with earthquakes? An important part of building and maintaining financial capability is preparing financially for emergencies and disasters. Take advantage of National Financial Capability Month to urge the people in your network to prepare financially for earthquakes by taking actions such as creating an emergency financial first aid kit and asking an insurance agent about earthquake insurance.

Taking steps today to prepare financially for disasters can strengthen and speed recovery afterwards.
