NCUA monitoring wildfires in Western states

September 11, 2020
Wildfires2

NCUA is monitoring a series of wildfires across the Western portion of the United States and stands ready to provide assistance to federally insured credit unions in the affected areas, the agency announced Friday.

The National Interagency Fire Center is tracking more than 100 fires in 12 states. The NCUA is tracking these fires closely, and the agency will monitor the conditions of credit unions in their path.

Credit unions are encouraged to keep in contact with their examiners, and the agency will be ready to assist credit unions with maintaining or restoring operations, if necessary. The agency maintains a hurricane and disaster information page on its website with more material on preparedness, disaster recovery, and staying safe.

The NCUA’s Office of Credit Union Resources and Expansion can provide urgent needs grants of up to $7,500 to low-income credit unions that experience sudden costs to restore operations because of these fires. Agency examiners can assist credit unions that wish to apply for those grants.

Credit union members with questions may contact the NCUA’s Consumer Assistance Center at 800-755-1030 Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. (ET).
