Here are the life lessons from the Galveston hurricane that apply to investing and should be avoided if you want to be successful. https://lnkd.in/gdh5SRPP

I found the following article and thought it may be helpful to post due to the recent effects of Hurricane Idalia impacting Florida, Georgia, South Carolina & North Carolina. Natural disasters can happen to anyone and a little preparation can go a long way. Take a look at these financial planning strategies to assist with your emergency preparedness plan.

Wildfires in Maui. Hurricane Idalia in Tampa. Tropical storm Hilary in California. They are just a few of the events in today’s era of #naturaldisasters, with 2023 poised to be a record year for US climate and weather catastrophes. While 61% of US companies have raised their total philanthropy giving for natural disasters levels in recent years, fewer than half are conducting planning exercises to prepare for future disasters. 🌀 🔥 Read our new report, produced in collaboration with E4E Relief, to learn more about Corporate America’s #disasterphilanthropy practices: https://lnkd.in/e6SbGGeP
