Preparing financially for a crisis — cash on hand, documents, and decisions made before you're in the middle of an emergency.
Preparedness conversations focus heavily on physical supplies and often skip the financial side entirely, even though money and paperwork problems are just as disruptive during a real emergency. This guide fills that gap.
Inside: how much cash on hand actually makes sense and why, organizing critical financial documents so they're accessible in an emergency, insurance and financial decisions worth making before a crisis rather than during one, and building financial resilience as part of an overall preparedness plan. A practical companion to the Family Finances series in Home & Family.
Includes 6 fill-in worksheets and self-assessments (print version), AI-powered prompts at the end of every chapter, and clickable links to Claude and ChatGPT in the digital version. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats. Instant download after purchase.
