Step #2 - Your "Financial" Emergency Kit

After an emergency the paperwork begins and not having the financial information you need available to you in moments of great stress can make a bad situation worse. We strongly encourage the residents of Harrison County to review and organize their important financial information and secure that information in case of an emergency. Provided below is a link to Operation Hope and their Emergency "Financial" Kit. The Emergency "Financial" Kit is a guide to help you gather all of your important financial information.
