Summer months bring hot weather and an increase in storm activity in Central Queensland, and while severe thunderstorms are very localised events, not usually affecting wide areas as tropical cyclones and floods do, so their devastating impact is often underestimated.
Thunderstorms can occur anywhere and do so more frequently than any other major natural hazard. Each year severe thunderstorms are responsible, on average, for more damage (as measured by insurance costs) than tropical cyclones, earthquakes, bushfires and floods.
However, while insurance is always going to be your best risk management strategy for severe weather events, a little bit of preparation can also go a long way to reducing the amount of damage to your property and business.
Below you’ll find some tips from Vero for staying storm prepared.
Weather events can happen at any time of the year, but most natural catastrophes occur between October and April.
We encourage you to follow the tips below to keep your home, car, business and loved ones safe.
Contact your broker to lodge your claim.
Read your PDS so you are familiar with your policy. Are you covered for fire, storm damage or for loss of business income resulting from these events?
