Making sure you’re covered

Making sure you’re covered

A run of severe weather events throughout the country has again highlighted how important it is to have the right cover in place so you’re protected should the unexpected occur.

While the damage is still being assessed from last weekend’s flash flooding on the East Coast, over 300 claims have been received for the South Auckland tornado that struck earlier this month, sadly killing one and wreaking havoc on homes and businesses. 

These events come following the three-day storm last month in Canterbury, which resulted in 1500 claims. Six months ago, flooding in Napier damaged more than 100 homes, with more than 20 of them still uninhabitable according to recent reports. 

Northland was hit last winter with floods costing nearly $20m, while 2019’s Timaru hailstorm – which lasted mere minutes – is NZ’s costliest weather event for insurers this century, at over $170m. 

When disaster hits, the priority is to secure the safety of whānau and friends. Then, when things settle, your broker can help manage insurance claims that will get you or your business back on your feet, faster. 

With severe weather events on the rise, these are a salient reminder that while the weather won’t always play ball, knowing you’re covered for any eventuality brings peace of mind. Contact your broker today and make sure you have the right cover.
