Prince George, B.C. – As part of Emergency Preparedness week, the Regional District of Fraser Fort George  is calling on area residents to double check their insurance policies.
Every insurance policy is different so it’s important   know the  risks around them and find out how their insurance policy may or may not cover them in times of emergencies.

The Regional District is encouraging homeowners take a look at their policies now, so when an emergency or disaster strikes they are familiar with the provisions in their coverage.
When looking at your insurance documents it’s important to know the following:

• What does my policy cover?
• Is there a specific kind of insurance for the type of home I have (house, condo, apartment, farm)
• Are there risks I can’t buy coverage for (ie fire, flood)
• Is optional coverage available for risks not normally covered?
• How do I make a claim?
• Should I make a claim for every loss?

When disaster such as fire or flood strike, your insurance coverage can be a key piece of your recovery plan and provide piece of mind knowing you and your family are protected.
Emergency Preparedness Week   runs through to the 7th of May.  You  can find more  including how to prepare your own emergency plan and kit on the Regional District’s website.
