Did you know?
In addition to helping pay for the cost to repair or replace the damage or loss to your property caused by a covered event, your insurance policy may also help pay for additional living expenses if you need to move.
Your insurance coverage during and after a severe weather event
If you had to leave your home to ensure your safety
Keep all receipts for expenses such as accommodation, food and transportation. You may be able to claim these expenses through your property insurance policy.
If you are under mandatory evacuation order
If you are required to be away from your home for an extended period of time, you may be able to claim your expenses through your property insurance policy. Make sure that you speak with your insurance broker or representative to find out which expenses can be claimed, and which cannot.
If your property or belongings are damaged
Take pictures or videos of the damage or loss. Make only necessary repairs to ensure your safety or to prevent further damage or loss to your property. Do not start making any other repairs without making a claim first.
We’re here to help you get back on track.
