Criminals look to take advantage of crisis events – with a hurricane and a pandemic, there are certain to be a large number of scams.

If you see email traffic asking for relief donations, offering assistance or seem suspicious, please validate the source. Community banks can always reach out to ICBA at crisisresponse@icba.org for assistance.

ICBA will continue to represent the community banks on FEMA and NBEOC calls. Additionally, ICBA is working closely with FS-ISAC and other industry groups to assess the impacts of the storm to the broader financial services sector.

Any community bank with operational impacts are encouraged to reach out to the ICBA Operational Risk Team.
