Are You Prepared?

Gulf Trust Federal Credit Union stands ready to meet your needs in the case of a disaster.  We have tested our disaster plan for manual operations when there is a power outage for any reason.  We pledge to put forth every effort possible to have your funds available when you need them.  We plan to keep you updated on our hours of operations on our website.  Click on the ATM Locator at the bottom of our home page.  We encourage you to be prepared as well. 

The following are recommendations:

Always Have a Bag Readily Available That Contains

  2. Copies of important information, emergency phone numbers and contacts, doctor/medication list, insurance policies, birth certificates/passports/drivers license, maps of your area and where shelters are.

  3. Food and water- prepare for at least three days- one gallon of water per person per day. Remember the can opener if you have canned food.

  4. Flashlight and batteries

  5. Radio- one that will operate with batteries, solar-powered or other energy source

  6. Cell phone, chargers and backup batteries

  7. First aid kit

  8. Extra clothing, gloves, hat, tennis shoes, and rain gear

  9. Sanitation and personal hygiene items- toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, deodorant, feminine items

  10. Insect repellent and sunscreen

  11. Multi-purpose tool

  12. Baby and/or pet supplies if needed

Prepare Your Home

  1. Cover windows

  2. All outside objects (plants, toys, picnic tables, chairs, grills, etc)- place in covered area

  3. Turn off any propane tanks

  4. Fill your vehicle’s gas tank.

  5. Discuss your plans with family, friends, or neighbors. Let them know if you plan to leave or stay.

Evacuate if authorities advise you to do so!
