At Rally Credit Union, our purpose is to improve lives and drive possibilities. With a deep commitment to our members, we prioritize financial security and preparedness. In the face of uncontrollable disasters, it's essential to know how to prepare for the unimaginable. That’s why we provide clear steps to help members navigate unexpected events with confidence.
When an accident or natural catastrophe occurs, the best way to plan for unexpected expenses is to make sure you’ve started a savings account. After an emergency or disaster, your savings account can help ensure you and your family don’t take on additional debt while rebuilding.
At Rally, we have savings options with high-yield interest-earning solutions for both short- and long-term goals. Our high-yield checking and savings accounts can help grow your emergency fund while earning interest.
During a disaster, safety is your top priority. While we live in a digital world, keeping hard copies of key financial and identity documents is vital. Documents to store in physical form include:
Print out your car and homeowners insurance coverage. Keep an inventory of all your assets and possessions so that, if you need to file a claim, you're fully prepared.
Always monitor weather updates and alerts from local news stations or a trusted network.
Unfortunately, scammers often take advantage of disasters. These individuals may use personal information from disaster situations to commit identity theft. If you encounter suspicious activity, contact the National Center for Disaster Fraud.
