What to Know About Travel Insurance and Natural Disasters
Travel insurance benefits for natural disasters may include:
Trip Cancellation or Interruption
If your destination is rendered uninhabitable or inaccessible.
Trip Delay
If your flight or cruise is delayed or canceled due to weather.
Emergency Medical and Evacuation
If you’re injured or need assistance during a declared disaster.
Baggage Coverage
If belongings are lost or damaged while rerouting.
Coverage applies only to unforeseen events. Once an event becomes “known” it is no longer considered unforeseen, meaning policies purchased on or after that date will not cover losses related to that event.
Coverage is subject to the terms and conditions of your policy.
