Despite being  a risk that could be mitigated, the generally negative perception about insurance services have made most flood victims turn deaf ears to flood insurance, a weapon, which should expectedly be instrumental to the dreaded disaster.

Flood insurance, in areas where it is embraced, enables businesses, including farmers and communities in flood-prone arrears, recoup their investment and also get indemnified in the event of a loss.

Recall that the Nigeria Meteorological Agency(NIMET), had, earlier in the year, warned that ‘2023 will witness an early onset of rainfall accompanied by flooding.’

For those who are proactive and live in flood-prone areas, its time to protect their farms, animals, houses, offices, properties and so on, against flood through flood insurance coverage.

Financial adviser, Nimi Akinkugbe, said: ‘we live  in uncertain times. Violent floods and storms, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes; the list goes on. Such disasters have one thing in common; they are ‘catastrophic risks’ that are not likely to affect you in your lifetime, but if and when they do happen, the consequences can be devastating.’
