“As bad as these things are and as hard as they are to live through, you do see good come out of them and you do see neighbors helping neighbors.” – Kelly Cartier

Kelly Cartier, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^® professional and founder of Cartier Financial in Clermont, Florida, has seen many hurricanes in her lifetime – but there was no way to predict the impact this year’s back-to back-storms Helene and Milton would leave behind. Kelly was just one of Cambridge’s many financial professionals whose communities were affected by these disastrous storms. From a personal and business perspective – Kelly walks listeners through the preparation process and how her team communicated with clients and leveraged their business continuity plan. While Kelly shares gratitude for her team's quick response and neighbors helping neighbors, her experience with Helene and Milton has her asking herself, ‘What can we do differently? How can we be even better prepared when another disaster strikes close to home?’

In Episode 219: When Disaster Strikes, Kelly joins Cambridge CEO and Co-Chairman of the Board Amy Webber to discuss:

• The importance of a business continuity plan
• How her team is taking steps forward in planning for future natural disasters
• The power of seeing people and communities come together
