Planning for unplanned
What do you think it looks like to be financially ready for a natural disaster? Is it about a certain amount of money in the bank or a level of insurance cover? While that is helpful, we think there is more to becoming financially strong and ready to face something unexpected, like a natural disaster.
Our free eBook Planning for the Unplanned contains tips, practical strategies and hopeful stories to help you with your financial wellbeing, whether you’re looking to get prepared before disaster hits — or are still on the road to recovery.

Four steps to becoming financially fit and well before a disaster hits
Addressing the following four areas will help you increase your financial wellbeing and feel more prepared if you experience a natural disaster.
- Develop a support network to lean on in times of trouble. Which friends or family members can you trust, have important conversations with or rely on for help?
- Learn to have — or maintain — a positive mindset and healthy mind. Seeing a counsellor or learning some mindfulness techniques, such as positive reframing of negative thoughts, or breathing practices, can be helpful.
- Ensure you have access to products and services. Assess your insurance cover and build some savings in the bank.
- Increase your financial knowledge and skills so you can make wise money decisions. Reading Planning for the Unplanned is a great place to start.
