New Jersey Society of CPAs Publishes Disaster Recovery Guide for Individuals and Businesses

ROSELAND, N.J. – In the wake of devasting storms that ravaged Florida and other parts of the East Coast lately, the New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants (NJCPA) is reminding New Jersey residents about its Disaster Recovery Guide. Designed to be a resource, the guide lists helpful information on how to replace lost or damaged personal documents when a disaster occurs.

The Disaster Recovery Guide is updated yearly with contact information for state and federal offices and insurance companies, as well as steps to replace credit card, passport, automobile or other documents. Information on how to avoid disaster-related fraud is also included.

“The guide should help the general public on many of the practical matters that need to be taken care of amid a business interruption or with damage to personal documents,” said Ralph Albert Thomas, CPA (DC), CGMA, CEO and executive director at the NJCPA. “This information is designed to make the process easier.”

The Disaster Recovery Guide is available online at njcpa.org/recovery or by contacting the NJCPA at 973-226-4494 or communications@njcpa.org.
