OCC, N.C. Regulator Permit Banks to Close for Hurricane Florence

September 11, 2018
Reading Time: 1 min read

With Hurricane Florence expected to make landfall on the southeastern Atlantic coast later this week, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks today preemptively authorized banks affected by the severe weather to close. The OCC also reiterated guidance intended to help banks facilitate recovery in the wake of natural disasters.

Working in consultation with state bankers associations, the American Bankers Association stands ready to assist bankers with disaster preparedness and recovery efforts. ABA resources include communications guidance, tips for consumers and links to checklists from FEMA and the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, including state-by-state incident response playbooks.
