Know Risk is a community education program designed by the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) to improve our understanding of insurance and how it relates to managing the many risks we all face in life.
Weather and Disasters
Everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you. Regardless of where you live, the weather occasionally gets a little unruly. Knowing your risks and how best to prepare for disasters, such as fires or floods, can save you money in the event and may also save your property.
