Safe Deposit Vault Security & Disaster Recovery Essentials
Tuesday, April 23, 2019
11:00 am – 1:00 pm Eastern

Recent safe deposit vault burglaries, devastating fires, Tropical Storms Sandy and Allison, Hurricanes Harvey, Ike, Katrina, Rita, Wilma and Andrew and damaging tornadoes, raging floods and many other nationwide disasters have significantly impacted our safe deposit industry. Following these tragic events, financial institutions have been confronted with some very difficult challenges, decisions and very significant lawsuits.

Did you inherit the safe deposit area and then start wondering what liability might exist? Historically, this responsibility has been routinely passed from employee to employee with very little attention given to existing procedures or documentation. Unfortunately, only after a burglary, disaster or lawsuit occurs does management turn its attention to this area.
