NCUA’s disaster planning risk alert
A recent post on the Compliance Blog takes a look at assessing risk as we enter into severe weather season. The National Credit Union Administration poses the question: how prepared is your credit union to respond to the next unforeseen catastrophic event?
According to NCUA’s many risk alerts and guidance letters on the subject, a credit union’s disaster preparedness program should:
-
Be commensurate with the institution’s complexity of operations;
-
Minimize interruptions of service to members and maintain member confidence in times of emergency; and
-
Be reviewed at least annually and address changes in the credit union’s operations.
One of their recommendations in the review process is to conduct your own risk assessment to determine which of the critical systems and necessary resources your credit union has should be prioritized in your planning.
