Canadian insurers are known for helping Canadians pick up the pieces and rebuild after disaster strikes. But we are also here to help you better prepare for and respond to an emergency.

Climate Change
There’s no question – climate change is real and it’s here. With severe weather events happening more frequently, Canadians need to take steps now to adapt to the effects of climate change in order to protect themselves and their property. Research suggests that a majority of Canadian homeowners are interested in learning more about how to protect their homes from climate change, but only three in ten are aware of special steps they can take. Click here to learn tips on surviving a natural disaster.

What You Can Do
Even though 66% of home insurance policyholders have heard of a “sewer back-up valve,” only 32% have one. A sewer back-up valve can help prevent water from entering your home. And you may want to purchase sewer back-up insurance, especially if your area has storm and sanitary sewers combined.

Disaster Survival Kit
Did you know that 88% of Canadians think it’s a good idea to keep a disaster survival kit in their homes, but only 25% of Canadians actually have one? A disaster survival kit can help get you through the first 72 hours following a major emergency. Every Canadian home should have one.
