America’s First Line of Response for Financial Recovery. Operation HOPE renewed our partnership with FEMA to strengthen and expand the financial counseling resources available to help individuals and families prepare for disasters and recover in the shortest possible time. Services are available across the country and work to help people recover from disaster and BE PREPARED when disaster strikes.
When a natural disaster occurs, organizations such as FEMA and the American Red Cross go to work immediately to address health, safety, and infrastructure problems. But financial issues affect far more people after a disaster than property damage or personal injury, which is where traditional national networks fall short. Our counselors include full-time employees and volunteers from the banking, financial services and insurance industries. Through the HOPE Crisis Hotline and our on-site counseling centers, they help clients recover financially from natural disasters, and other emergencies. We also provide pre-disaster preparedness planning. Download our free Emergency Financial First Aid Kit (EFFAK) or Personal Disaster Preparedness Guide (PDPG) now—and find out how prepared you are.
