ABA to Host Webinar on Coronavirus, Pandemic Planning Resources

To help bankers address the operational challenges posed by the 2019 novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, the ABA will host a free webinar for its members on Thursday, March 12, at noon CDT, to provide an update on the situation and discuss business continuity planning practices for banks.

The webinar will provide an overview of the health threat and review CDC guidelines on virus transmission; help bankers assess their business continuity plans and highlight available resources to assist with planning; and review leading industry practices and lessons learned in a 2007 pandemic exercise conducted by public and private-sector participants.

Presenters will include Accenture’s Valerie Abend, a former Treasury official who oversaw the 2007 pandemic planning exercise; University of Maryland School of Medicine’s David Marcozzi, a medical doctor with expertise in public health and epidemiology; and ABA SVP Paul Benda. Register for the webinar.

Other resources include:

Meanwhile, lawmakers also sent letters to ABA and other financial trade groups seeking information about the banking industry’s response to the virus. To help respond to this request for information, ABA is asking bankers to share specifics about how they are helping customers affected by the virus and its fallout in the economy.
