Fire & Natural Disasters

If a fire destroys your building, it can take weeks or months before normal operations can be resumed, and in most cases, income would be lost during that period even though many regular business expenses would continue. The same situation arises when natural disasters strike. Does your current insurance policy cover you for business interruption? And if so, does it cover you if that interruption is due to earthquake or flood or only for other events?

Your Suppliers

Let’s say that you’ve taken out cover for business interruption after a disaster – but what if a disaster destroys the premises of your biggest supplier, rather than yours, and they’re suddenly unable to supply you? If you’re unable to find a replacement supply, that too could bring your business or production to a halt.

Contingent business interruption insurance can offer you cover for losses in those types of circumstance.

With any business interruption insurance however, it’s vital to know what exclusions apply and source additional cover if you need it. Do you need to add this type of cover to your business insurance policy?

If you are in a fire prone area, taking additional precautions to protect your business from fire damage may net you a discount on your California business insurance. You’ll also be better protected in the event that a wild fire approaches your business premises.

Here are some measures you might consider:

- A good sprinkler system that can be activated if there is an advancing fire and may help make your building less likely to be completely destroyed.

- Keep all vegetation cleared from around your buildings. Clear your roof and guttering of dry leaf litter and other combustibles. If possible, have any volatile chemicals and/or fuels stored in a separate place than your main building.

- Make a fire plan and run regular drills so that you and your staff know what to do if action is required.

High temperatures, big winds and vegetation growth over winter all contribute towards increased fire risk. You can’t control those things. You can, and should, do as much as possible to protect your business – including making sure that your California business insurance policy is up to date and covers you in the event of fire.
