Improve Your System:
Safe deposit vault burglaries and disasters like 9-11, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Ike and Katrina, damaging tornados, devastating fires, raging floods and many other nationwide disasters have significantly impacted our safe deposit industry. Following these tragic events, numerous institutions were confronted with many difficult challenges, decisions and very large 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, natural disaster or lawsuit occurs does management turn its attention to this area.
