HOPE Coalition America is the national emergency preparedness and assistance
division of Operation HOPE, Inc., America’s leading provider of economic empowerment
tools and services. The coalition is a collaboration of senior executives and professionals
from the banking and financial services, insurance, and other industries. Additional
participants include higher education, social service, and community services agencies,
which provide financial and economic guidance and assistance to individuals and small
businesses affected by emergencies and disasters.
Two of our principal products: the Emergency Financial First Aid Kit (EFFAK), is a
document which aids people to create detailed listings of their important personal and
financial information; and the companion document, the Personal Disaster Preparedness
Guide (PDPG) guides them through the survival and recovery steps they should take prior
to an emergency. The documents are available as a free download from our
website http://www.operationhope.org.
The United States has a strong network of first responders to address immediate health,
safety, and infrastructure needs after disasters, through agencies such as the Red Cross
and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). HOPE Coalition America
strengthens that network by assisting individuals with the short, medium and long-term
economic and financial challenges they face following disasters and emergencies.
