Treffer: YOUR DISASTER PREPARATION TOOLKIT.

The article emphasizes the importance of safeguarding homes and finances against increasingly severe and unpredictable weather events, which are partly attributed to climate change. It highlights the need for homeowners to reassess their insurance coverage, particularly in high-risk areas, as traditional homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage. The article also discusses the rising costs of construction and the necessity of having a disaster plan, including maintaining an up-to-date inventory of possessions and preparing for emergencies. Additionally, it notes that only 6% of homeowners have flood insurance, despite the risk of flooding affecting areas not typically associated with such disasters. [Extracted from the article]
