Consider saving money in an emergency savings account that could be used in any crisis. Keep a small amount of cash at home in a safe place. It's important to have small bills on hand because ATMs and credit cards may not work during a disaster. More: ready.gov/financial-prep

Save with a plan. Regular saving can pay off in many ways, especially in case of a disaster or emergency. Savers who have a plan are twice as likely to save successfully. Learn more: ready.gov/financial-preparedness
