On August 9, the OCC issued a statement permitting OCC-regulated institutions to close their offices affected by wildfires in California. OCC Bulletin 2012-28 provides further guidance on natural disasters and other emergency conditions. (See previous InfoBytes coverage here). On the same day, the FDIC also provided guidance related to California wildfires in FIL-41-2018. Among other things, the FDIC is encouraging institutions to consider extending repayment terms and restructuring existing loans that may be affected.
