Natural disasters pose a significant threat to both your safety and your property.

The extent of the damage caused by a natural disaster will vary depending on the type and severity of disaster, for example:

• Wind: High winds can cause damage to roofs, windows, and walls. They can also uproot trees and send them crashing into homes and businesses.
• Flood: Floodwaters can seep into homes and businesses, causing damage to flooring, furniture, and electrical systems. They can also contaminate water supplies and make it unsafe to live or work in the affected area.
• Fire: Wildfires can destroy entire communities, leaving nothing but ashes in their wake. They can also spread quickly and easily, making it difficult to contain them.
• Earthquakes: Earthquakes can cause buildings to collapse, roads to crack, and utilities to be disrupted. They can also trigger landslides and tsunamis, which can cause further damage.
• Other natural disasters: Other natural disasters that can destroy property include tornadoes, hurricanes, and hailstorms.
