Check If You Are Insured
Did you know, Aotearoa is the second most hazardous country in the world? We are often exposed to a wide range of different natural hazard events such as earthquakes, landslides, volcanic activity, and severe weather.
The Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake (formerly the Earthquake Commission or EQC), exists to reduce the impact on people and property when natural hazard events occur. If you are a homeowner in Aotearoa, you have natural hazards cover if you have a home insurance policy that includes fire insurance (and most do). However, it’s important to understand the risks you face in your area, and check your insurance to see what’s covered, and how much you’re covered for, so there’s no surprises if your home gets impacted by a natural hazard event.
We recommend keeping copies of important insurance documents in a safe place. If you would like to learn more about natural hazards cover, visit the Natural Hazards Comission Toka Tū Ake website.
