'It's 500 credit scores.' Bryant is the founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Operation HOPE, Inc., the nonprofit provider of financial dignity education and economic empowerment programs. His recent focus is on working with banks and other community organizations to help individuals dramatically improve their credit score. He also asks emergency managers to consider how disaster recovery dollars could improve the financial resilience of community members that live in poverty. Bryant is the author of the bestselling books, 'The Memo: Five Rules for Your Economic Liberation' and 'How the Poor can Save Capitalism: Rebuilding the Path to the Middle Class.'"

PrepTalks: The Making of a Resilient Future - Disaster Risk in Developing Countries [video]
"In his PrepTalk, [Francis] Ghesquiere presents a global perspective on the need to improve disaster resilience. He highlights the scale of the challenge, from rapid urbanization in areas at risk of earthquakes and floods, to the increasing frequency and intensity of storms. He discusses the need for all sectors to participate in planning and to incorporate future trends in population growth, urbanization, and increasing risk due to future environmental conditions. Ghesquiere heads the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), a global partnership hosted by the World Bank with programs in more than 80 countries. In a recent report, The making of a riskier future: How our decisions are shaping future disaster risk, the GFDRR demonstrates how 'tomorrow's risk is being built today. We must therefore move away from risk assessments that show risk at a single point in the present and move instead towards risk assessments that can guide decision makers towards a resilient future.' Ghesquiere focuses on the importance of this future perspective in his PrepTalk."

PrepTalks: Social Capital in Disaster Mitigation and Recovery [video]

Despite common assumptions that money, governance, level of damage, and inequality are the most important determinants of recovery, Aldrich demonstrates that 'disaster resilience comes from internal factors: How connected are we? How much trust do we have in each other? How often do we work together?' Aldrich has studied disasters around the world and is the author of four published books, including Building Resilience: Social Capital in Post-Disaster Recovery."

PrepTalks Discussion Guide: Financial Literacy and Overcoming Liquid Asset Poverty
"PrepTalks Discussion Guides are companion documents to PrepTalk video presentations and question-and-answer (Q&A) sessions. When used together with the videos, these guides help translate the research and expertise showcased in each presentation into action steps to improve disaster preparedness. [...] In his PrepTalk, Bryant makes an impassioned case for emergency managers to include financial literacy as a priority in their communities. He also asks emergency managers to consider how disaster recovery dollars could improve the financial resilience of community members that live in poverty. Bryant's recent focus is on working with banks and other community organizations to help individuals dramatically improve their credit score. Banks and other financial services companies use credit scores to decide whether to offer loans or credit cards - and the interest rate to charge. FICO credit scores range from 300 to 800. Bryant's goal is to help people with low credit scores raise them to 650 and higher, thus making them more financially secure and helping them qualify for credit."
