Is your property at risk of flooding?

New Zealand is not immune to bad weather, just ask anyone affected by recent flooding.

Check your local council’s flood maps online, and see if you have any friends or family who live in the area who can advise you on whether or not the area floods.

While you can try and look for a home that is built to minimise flood damage, your area flooding will always affect you and your house in some way, which is why flood cover in home and contents insurance is so important for those who live in areas prone to flooding.
