Logo of EMD and LA City seal / April 2025 Emergency Management Department Newsletter, Issue 34 / Financial Preparedness Month / Angelenos of all income levels experience the challenges of rebuilding their lives after a disaster or other emergency. In these stressful times, having access to personal financial, medical, and other records is crucial for starting the recovery process quickly and efficiently.

April is "Financial Preparedness Month" and in stressful times, peace-of-mind can often come from being proactive about record-keeping and storage.

LA City's Emergency Management Department (EMD) wants Angelenos, whether their "piggy banks" are full or not, to make sure they'll have access to critical records -- financial, medical, or other forms -- when any post-disaster recovery process begins.

Read and/or download the April EMD newsletter for helpful tips and links to many proactive-planning tools.
