Washington, D.C. — The Office of Thrift Supervision released a brochure today that describes the benefits for members of the financial services industry of joining a regional coalition to prepare for recovery after a disaster.

The brochure, Regional Coalitions: Public-Private Partnerships for the Financial Services Sector, was developed jointly and issued by the Financial and Banking Information Infrastructure Committee and the Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council for Critical Infrastructure Protection and Homeland Security.

The regional coalitions are organizations formed voluntarily to facilitate the recovery of the financial services sector following a natural disaster or man-made attack.  The coalitions are open to all members of the financial services sector.

The brochure says the benefits of joining include the ability to network with strategic partners in other critical sectors.  It also contains a list of existing regional coalitions and contact information for finding out more about them, joining, or obtaining information that could be useful in establishing a new coalition.

The brochure is attached and is available on the OTS website at www.ots.treas.gov.
